Abstract

There is growing interest in augmented reality (AR) as technologies are developed that enable ever smoother integration of computer capabilities into the physical objects that populate the everyday lives of users. However, despite this growing importance of AR technologies, there is little tool support for the design of AR systems. In this paper, we present two notations, ASUR and UMLi, that can be used to capture design-significant features of AR systems. ASUR is a notation for designing user interactions in AR environments. UMLi is a notation for designing the user interfaces to interactive systems. We use each notation to specify the design of an augmented museum gallery. We then compare the two notations in terms of the types of support they provide and consider how they might be used together.
