This document describes AugMenu, an augmented reality ordering system for restaurants. It discusses the motivation for the project, related work in augmented reality interfaces and user studies, and the methodology used including user and environment analysis, task analysis, observation, interviews, evaluations, and technical specifications. The outcome will be a new augmented reality-based menu design and integrated ordering system.

1. AugMenu An Augmented Reality Ordering System for Restaurant

2. Motivation Jim enters a Chinese Restaurant What is Ants Climbing Tree!?

3. Our idea: AR + Menu

4. Sometimes, you need suggestions

5. You must be curious about how to cook it?

6. And, why on earth it has such a name?

8. Related Work No directly related work in ACM library But tons of indirectly related work Designing Augmented Reality Interfaces

10. It explains principles of tangible augmented reality, and these principles guide us to compliment easy user interaction design.

13. Methodology Environment Analysis Ordinary paper and text based menu Waiters are familiar with handheld devices Be Exotic!!!

14. Methodology Hierarchical Task Analysis 0 View augmented information 0.1 Get the menu 0.2 Get the device 0.3 Launch the AugMenu Application 0.4 Adjust the position between menu and handhold device 0.4.1 Adjust the angle 0.4.2 Adjust the position 0.4.3 Adjust the distance 0.5 view information 0.5.1 move the device 0.5.2 operate the device to control the displayed information

16. Observation Observe the process of a customer ordering Taking notes about what he does while viewing the menu and what questions he asks. Carefully capture the details of user’s non-verbal motions Video record this process(Permission) Methodology

17. Interview: semi-structured interview the customer Focus on what problem they met What kind of menu they want to use waiters 1. How many customers feel confused about the menu? 2. What is their typical explanation for this kind of questions. 3. How to improve the menu? Methodology

18. Predictive Analytic Evaluation Heuristic Evaluation In formative phase, check the low-fi prototype according to design criteria. Cognitive WalkThourgh Walk through each interaction steps and answer questions to avoid design flaws. Methodology

19. Technical Specification A mobile device with camera Sets of markers AR toolkit to fulfill marker tracking and information overlay FL Manager + Flex + AIR

20. Outcome A brand new menu design An integrated ordering system design Achieve core functionalities A Paper
