Multi-layered Mobile Augmented Reality Framework for Positive User Experience

ABSTRACT

Emerging technology like Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) is becoming increasingly diverse and well established. However, this research field needs conceptual and practical frameworks to be followed while designing for a positive User Experience (UX). This paper presents a multi-layered conceptual MAR framework. It highlight the components needed to design MAR products and demonstrate different types of experiences invoked by the use of such products in a particular timespan. This work presents the important product aspects that need to be considered while designing for MAR to enhance its user experience.
