ABSTRACT
With this work, we demonstrate our concept of Reality-Based Information Retrieval. Our principal idea is to bring Information Retrieval closer to the real world, for a new class of future, immersive IR interfaces. Technological advances in computer vision and machine learning will allow mobile Information Retrieval to make even better use of the people's surroundings and their ability to interact with the physical world. Reality-Based Information Retrieval augments the classic Information Retrieval process with context-dependent search cues and situated query and result visualizations using Augmented Reality technologies. We briefly describe our concept as an extension of the Information Retrieval pipeline and present two prototype implementations that showcase the potential of Reality-Based Information Retrieval.

Here and Now: Reality-Based Information Retrieval: Perspective Paper
CHIIR '18: Proceedings of the 2018 Conference on Human Information Interaction & RetrievalToday, the widespread use of mobile devices allows users to search information "on the go»», whenever and wherever they want, no longer confining Information Retrieval to classic desktop interfaces. We believe that technical advances in Augmented ...
Haptics in Augmented Reality
ICMCS '99: Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Computing and Systems - Volume 2An augmented reality system merges synthetic sensory information into a user's perception of a three-dimensional environment. An important performance goal for an augmented reality system is that the user perceives a single seamless environment. In most ...
Augmented reality as perceptual reality
VSMM'06: Proceedings of the 12th international conference on Interactive Technologies and Sociotechnical SystemsAs shown in Paul Milgram et al’s Reality-Virtuality Continuum (1994), Augmented Reality occupies a very unique status in the spectrum of Mixed Reality. Unlike Virtual Reality, which is completely made up of the virtual and has been the most important ...
