Effects of Augmented Reality Projection Obstructions on Social Interactions Between Augmented Reality Headset Wearers and Non-Wearers
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Augmented reality smart glasses have made attempts to enter the public sphere as a consumer product. These attempts have not been successful, and one of the reasons stems from negative interactions between people wearing the smart glasses and those not wearing them. One possible root cause of this negative interaction may be from augmented projections obscuring conversation participants visually. This paper seeks to explore why people may have negative interactions in these circumstances. We take measures of social presence, interpersonal attraction, and partner closeness, among others. After studying 96 pairs of participants, we found that when projections obscured a headset wearer’s partner, the headset wearer experiences less social presence than their partner. This has implications on the way we may perceive reality should smart glasses ever become a public consumer product.
