User Interaction Analysis with Virtual Objects in Augmented Reality Applications

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive examination of user interactions with augmented reality (AR) objects, detailing both the methodologies developed for the optimal placement of virtual objects within AR applications and the practical outcomes of these implementations. A vast array of experimental data has been statistically analyzed to validate the efficacy of the proposed optimal placement method, which aims to simplify user tasks and reduce the time required for object positioning. The findings from this analysis confirm the effectiveness of the method. Additionally, the study delves into the current challenges faced by AR applications in terms of user experience and explores potential resolutions. The research is driven by the quest for innovative approaches to application and service development that leverage AR technology. With a variety of algorithms available for identifying anchor points in flat images and three-dimensional space, the paper identifies a significant research gap at a higher level for developers to utilize these algorithms more effectively and analyze the resultant data. The growing proliferation of AR and its gradual integration across various sectors presents new challenges, thereby establishing the foundation for the investigation presented in this paper.
