User Behavior Adaptive AR Guidance for Wayfinding and Tasks Completion

Augmented reality (AR) is widely used to guide users when performing complex tasks, for example, in education or industry. Sometimes, these tasks are a succession of subtasks, possibly distant from each other. This can happen, for instance, in inspection operations, where AR devices can give instruc...

description Augmented reality (AR) is widely used to guide users when performing complex tasks, for example, in education or industry.
