Introduction Mixed Reality

Mixed Reality (MR): an environment where real world and virtual world objects are presented together on a single display (Milgram & Kishino 1994; Milgram and Colquhoun 1999).

AR CAD System Hardware

The AR CAD system consists of the following components • Modeling computer: Running AutoCAD or other modeling

software. • AR computer: Running the Augmented Reality viewing

software.• Video Camera: Logitech QuickCam Pro 3000.

Issues in Spatial Cognition

Spatial cognition is the internalized reflection and reconstruction of space in thought (Hart and Moore, 1973).

Why explore spatial cognition?• To understand the structure (coding) of the mental

models and the process of utilizing those mental models (decoding).

• To most efficiently present and effect spatial information via the human-computer interface.

Issues in Spatial Cognition Main Process

Main Processes of Human Spatial Cognition

• Extracting process: obtaining spatial information from physical space.

• Storage or encoding process: building a memory representation from visual perception.

• Decoding process: retrieving information from memory for decision making.

Issues in Spatial Cognition Cognition Cost

Cognition CostIndication of the effort required by different mental transformations associated with changes and factors involved in switching viewing perspectives.

Issues in Spatial Cognition Viewpoint Comparison

Viewpoint Comparison between AR and AutoCAD

Page 15: Mixed Reality Benefits For Design Perception Phillip S. Dunston, Ph.D. and Xiangyu Wang Construction Engineering and Management School of Civil Engineering.

Experimental Methodology Objective

Primary Objective:

To determine whether standard AutoCAD or AR CAD (AutoCAD + AR view) is more effective in the task of conflict detection with respect to the cognition cost associated with scene/perspective changes.

Conclusion and Future Directions

Conclusion• AR CAD can be a worthwhile viewer assistant for

identifying interferences without increasing a detailer’s overall time due to the cognition cost associated with perspective switching.

Future Directions• Continued exploration of human interface issues, e.g., spatial

cognition• Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)
