The Real-World Wide Web Browser: An Interface for a Continuously Available, General Purpose, Spatialized Information Space

Abstract

In this paper, we describe an augmented reality (AR) system that acts as continuously available interface to a spatialized information space based on the World Wide Web. We present the assumptions we make about the characteristics of such a system, and discuss the implications of those assumptions for an AR interface. In particular, we focus on the implications of continuous use, context-awareness, and distributed publishing.
