AR With Cloud Anchors: A Way to Improve HCI and Interactive Art

Ar: What Is Missing?

Augment Reality has been available since the early 1970s, but only now is it beginning to place its full potential in the hands of the average user. Evidence of this was the Pokémon-Go game, a highly immersive form of entertainment, which has brought AR to millions of users who are completely unaware of this technological capability. Despite the success achieved, reality shows that success can be short-lived, with the loss of interest from users in the application and with Nintendo unable to relaunch the product to the level of success achieved. Pokémon-Go life cycle demonstrates that AR applications suffer from the same constraints identified in other applications that are not leveraged in content. User experience during the journey through technological medium, require constant and diversified stimuli, in a constant information interchange, where the user is making part of the application, adding content and consuming from others. Edmonds (2019) postulated that what one person sees or hears in the machine is always determined by the action of others, people who designed the interface and those who generate contents to the medium.
