Abstract
In recent years there have been a number of software frameworks proposed for developing augmented reality (AR) applications. However these frameworks typically do not address three types of interfaces; tangible, transitional and collaborative user interfaces. In this paper we describe a new software framework weve developed that focuses on these three characteristics. Firstly, we introduce a simple way to build complex tangible applications using a rapid-prototyping approach. Secondly, we offer an environment to build and support transitional interface. Finally, our framework offers a simple way to support collaborative requirements combined with the use of the GPU for improving user awareness.

Evaluation of Tangible User Interfaces for Desktop AR
Dünser, A.; Looser, J.; Grasset, R.; Seichter, H.; Billinghurst, Mark (University of Canterbury. Human Interface Technology Laboratory, 2010)In this work we evaluated the usability of tangible user interaction for traditional desktop augmented reality environments. More specifically, we compared physical sliders and tracked paddles, and traditional mouse input ... -
An Evaluation of Virtual Lenses for Object Selection in Augmented Reality
Looser, L.; Billinghurst, Mark; Grasset, R.; Cockburn, A. (University of Canterbury. Computer Science and Software Engineering.University of Canterbury. Human Interface Technology Laboratory., 2007)This paper reports the results of an experiment to compare three different selection techniques in a tabletop tangible augmented reality interface. Object selection is an important task in all direct manipulation interfaces ... -
Transitional Interface: Concept, Issues and Framework
Grasset, R.; Looser, J.; Billinghurst, Mark (University of Canterbury. Human Interface Technology Laboratory., 2006)Transitional Interfaces have emerged as a new way to interact and collaborate between different interaction spaces such as Reality, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. In this paper we explore this concept further. ...
