Graphical Menus Using a Mobile Phone for Wearable AR Systems

In this paper, we explore the design of various types of graphical menus via a mobile phone for use in a wearable augmented reality system. For efficient system control, locating menus is vital. Based on previous relevant work, we determine display-, manipulator- and target-referenced menu placement according to focusable elements within a wearable augmented reality system. Moreover, we implement and discuss three menu techniques using a mobile phone with a stereo head-mounted display.
