Haniff, David and Baber, Chris (2003): Evaluation of Augmented Reality Systems. In: Proceedings of International Conference on Information Visualization IV03 2003, London. pp. 505-511. Available online
Augmented reality (AR) systems need to be evaluated for their appropriateness for a given task. Three approaches are used to evaluate the waterpump augmented reality tool (WART). The system is assessed using verbal protocol, performance time and a questionnaire. The WART system is compared with a paper version of the assembly instructions. The verbal protocol revealed that there was more cognitive processing for the paper version of task than WART, it took longer to complete the task with WART than the paper version and the questionnaire revealed the effect on performance of problems associated with AR. All of the participants in the evaluation, however, were positive about WART, and appreciated its usefulness.

Haniff, David and Baber, Chris (2001): Categorizing Augmented Reality Systems. In Journal of Three Dimensional Images, 14 (4) pp. 105-110
Augmented Reality (AR) superimposes virtual
information onto the real world. AR system
development is reaching the maturity of Virtual
Reality (VR) systems. However, AR systems
vary considerably due to the variety of
applications that use different input and output
methods. There is therefore a need to categorize
these systems in order to ascertain the options
available in the use of AR for particular activities.
This paper describes a study categorizing five AR
systems and proposes that AR systems can also be
looked at in terms of context and granularity.
Three AR systems developed at the University of
Birmingham are presented to illustrate these
categories

Wearable computer applications can be defined broadly as situationally-aware and situationally-unaware. A situationally-aware fire-fighter application which is under development is described and a situationally-unaware police force application is presented. However, underlying these developments is the issue of the appropriateness of the user interface for these applications

Much of the work into wearable computers has been concerned with the miniaturization of Personal Computers, e.g., 486 or Pentium-based. In this project, we ask whether it is possible to build a wearable device from much simpler electronic components. Specification for the device is based on the capture of user requirements, and constraints for the design are obtained from consideration of the operating environment.

In: Johnson, Hilary, Nigay, Laurence and Roast, C. R. (eds.) Proceedings of the Thirteenth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers XIII August 1-4, 1998, Sheffield, UK. pp. 313-325.
In this paper, we investigate human factors which could have a bearing on the use of wearable computers. The first study examines performance on a reaction time task using a head-mounted display in comparison with performance on a sVGA visual display unit. While the number of missed targets was not significantly different, there were significant differences in reaction time to displays. The second study shows performance time of participants using a wearable computer to be superior to those using paper-based manual and recording, but there is a trend for more errors to be made when using the wearable computer.
