    Abstract

    Visual cues are essential in computer-mediated communication. It is especially important when communication happens in a collaboration scenario that requires focusing several users' attention on a specific object among other similar ones. This paper explores the effect of visual cues on pointing tasks in co-located Augmented Reality (AR) collaboration. A user study (N = 32, 16 pairs) was conducted to compare two types of visual cues: Pointing Line (PL) and Moving Track (MT). Both are head-based visual techniques. Through a series of collaborative pointing tasks on objects with different states (static and dynamic) and density levels (low, medium and high), the results showed that PL was better on task performance and usability, but MT was rated higher on social presence and user preference. Based on our results, some design implications are provided for pointing tasks in co-located AR collaboration.
