Abstract

A large number of augmented reality (AR) applications have been developed for handheld platforms built around ultra mobile computers. Unfortunately, these platforms, created for research, are not appropriate for demonstrations and user testing because their ad hoc nature affects the user experience. An AR platform designed for the average user will provide more accurate data on software usability. This paper presents such a platform designed with user input to meet their expectations. The result is a two handed device that a randomly selected group of users would want to have in their workplace. This platform is ideal for testing and commercializing industrial augmented reality applications.
