Abstract

We present ARcheoBox, a walk-up-and-use prototype for interacting with interpretation of historical artefacts using tangible augmented reality. ARcheoBox enables users to manipulate virtual representations and interact with interpretation of historical artefacts using cylinder-shaped generic proxies. We also leverage the user interactions with interpretation using three interaction techniques “Move”, “Rotate”, and “Flip” as output modalities in AR. The prototype consists of a wooden box, a tablet display, and generic proxies, which means ARcheoBox does not require any head-mounted displays (HMDs), handheld controllers, or haptic gloves. We conducted a user study with 25 participants in which the findings demonstrate the advantages of tangible AR over more conventional interaction modalities presented in museums such as touch screens. Finally, we present a set of design recommendations for designing tangible AR that enhances the user’s interaction experience with historical artefacts.
