An Augmented Reality Interaction Interface for Autonomous Drone (2008.02234v1)
Published 5 Aug 2020 in cs.HC and cs.RO
Abstract: Human drone interaction in autonomous navigation incorporates spatial interaction tasks, including reconstructed 3D map from the drone and human desired target position. Augmented Reality (AR) devices can be powerful interactive tools for handling these spatial interactions. In this work, we build an AR interface that displays the reconstructed 3D map from the drone on physical surfaces in front of the operator. Spatial target positions can be further set on the 3D map by intuitive head gaze and hand gesture. The AR interface is deployed to interact with an autonomous drone to explore an unknown environment. A user study is further conducted to evaluate the overall interaction performance.
