Dr. Julia Woodward had a great time presenting our paper “Designing Textual Information in AR Headsets to Aid in Adults’ and Children’s Task Performance” at ACM Interaction Design and Children (IDC) 2023 in Chicago this past week! This paper was in collaboration with Dr. Jaime Ruiz from the University of Florida. We found that while the design of information did not affect adults’ task performance, the location of information had a direct effect on children’s task performance. Our work contributes new understanding on how to design textual information in AR headsets to aid in adults’ and children’s task performance. The conference included a lot of interesting discussions around designing technology for children, including AR/VR, conversational agents, robotics, and STEAM tools.
