Abstract
This thesis explores how embodied interaction in Augmented Reality (AR) shapes user experience, with a focus on museum applications. Building on prior work linking AR-induced presence to enriched museum visits and revisit intentions, it examines whether Mixed Reality headsets can deliver more immersive, hands-free interaction than mobile AR. The work reviews enabling technologies (e.g., SLAM and spatial computing) and museum-oriented design considerations (immersion, image quality, and storytelling), and presents the design and implementation of a Magic Leap 1 prototype. The prototype combines multiple input modalities—controller, eye-gaze, and mid-air hand gestures—within a navigable interface and interactive elements suitable for museum use, and records user data for analysis. The planned in-museum evaluation was cancelled due to COVID-19; the evaluation focus shifted to comparing how these embodied inputs affect basic interaction tasks and the perceived AR experience. No empirical findings are provided in the excerpt; the contribution lies in the conceptual and technical framework and an evaluation plan to inform future museum-based studies.
Denne afhandling undersøger, hvordan kropslig interaktion i Augmented Reality (AR) kan forme brugeroplevelsen, med særlig fokus på museumsanvendelser. Med afsæt i forskning, der peger på, at AR kan øge oplevet tilstedeværelse og dermed forbedre museumsoplevelser og genbesøgstendens, retter projektet blikket mod Mixed Reality-headsets, som kan tilbyde mere immersive og håndfri interaktioner end mobilbaseret AR. Arbejdet omfatter en gennemgang af centrale teknologier (bl.a. SLAM og spatial computing) og designhensyn for museumsbrug (immersion, billedkvalitet, fortælling), samt design og implementering af en prototype til Magic Leap 1. Prototypen kombinerer flere inputmodaliteter—controller, blikretning og håndbevægelser i luften—i en navigerbar brugergrænseflade med interaktive elementer målrettet museumsbrug, og den logger brugerdata til efterfølgende analyse. Den oprindelige plan om at evaluere i et museum blev aflyst pga. COVID-19; evalueringen blev i stedet omlagt til at udforske, hvordan de forskellige kropslige input påvirker basale interaktionsopgaver og den oplevede AR-oplevelse. Af uddraget fremgår ingen resultater; rapporten bidrager primært med en konceptuel og teknisk ramme samt en evalueringsplan, der kan bruges i fremtidige studier i museumskontekster.
