Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology on the rise. Due to its growing popularity and application in various domains, ways of increasing user friendliness and usability of AR are now becoming more important. Context-awareness is one of these ways, as it can make an AR application adjust to the user, their situation and their needs, making the application more ergonomic and easy to work with. Especially in mobile AR, context changes happen often, due to the user moving around and using their devices in different environments and situations. In order to ease the development of context-aware applications for mobile AR, the modular development framework AARCon is proposed. AARCon consists of context monitoring features to keep track of the context of use and adaptation features to react to context changes. To show the potential of AARCon, a case study is presented, where AARCon is used to create a context-aware AR printer maintenance application.
