Current Augmented Reality navigation applications for pedestrians usually do
not visualize tracking errors. However, tracking uncertainties can accumulate
so that the user is presented with a distorted impression of navigation
accuracy. To increase the awareness of users about potential imperfections of
the tracking at a given time, we alter the visualization of the navigation
system. We developed four visualization and error visualization concepts and
used a controlled Mixed Reality environment to conduct a pilot study. We
found that, while error visualization has the potential to improve AR
navigation systems, it is difficult to find suitable visualizations, which
are correctly understood among the users.
