Abstract

Effective, efficient and satisfactory human-computer interface is an important research content of natural human-computer interaction in augmented reality. Augmented reality (AR) interface requires users to face both real and virtual interface, which leads to information overload and cognitive burden. Without properly designed visual and related information, users will misunderstand the intention of interaction, resulting in misoperation of gesture input. This work classifies symbolic elements and spatial locations by studying visual interfaces in the context of augmented reality. Using user heuristic analysis to summarize the existing common gestures. The task completion time and PSSUQ scale were used to evaluate the effect of user interface on gesture interaction, and then to improve the augmented reality interface. This research is helpful to reduce the visual buttons in the augmented reality human-computer interface, improve the visual interface of gesture interaction and reduce the cognitive burden. Application of augmented reality in education and training.
