Abstract

Wall displays are a good medium to analyse and manipulate a large amount of data, but they have drawbacks: working with several people on the same surface can cause conflict between users. Furthermore, the wall cannot display more information than its size allows. In this thesis, we work on combining Augmented Reality(AR) with the wall to investigate these issues. We first study how AR can provide a personal view to navigate a network displayed on a wall with 4 techniques of cursors displayed in AR and compare these techniques in two studies. Then, we study extending a wall using AR with a system adding space to manipulate content seamlessly between physical and virtual space, which we compare to a wall alone. But could we replace a wall with Virtual Reality(VRVirtual Reality)? In a pilot experiment, we compare a physical wall to 2 VRVirtual Reality headsets and a simulation of a perfect VRVirtual Reality headset.
