A Systematic Review of Tools Available in the Field of Augmented Reality

Augmented reality interfaces have been extensively researched throughout the past few decades, with many user studies being conducted. This paper examines the landscape of research on augmented reality. The authors summarise the overall contribution of each field and will then present examples of influential user studies. They identify other areas of research that would be advantageous to possible future studies. There is a trend toward hands-free applications, and most user testing is carried out in the laboratory. This research will also help researchers learning the best practices when conducting AR user studies.
