Depth Cues for Augmented Reality Stakeout

Paper by Volkert Jurgens, Andy Cockburn, Mark Billinghurst

I read this paper because it isolates stereo cues and tests them against other augmented reality assistance for placing a stake in the correct position. The study finds no significant difference between the several types of augmentation used. The conclusion is that the task is more reliant on kinesthetic memory than it is on visual cues. There was some discussion of the subjective preferences, but it seems the critical lesson to learn from this experiment is to assess whether a task is as visual cue driven as it seems before committing time and energy to an experiment.
