Abstract :
In this paper we propose "Augmented Reality (AR) Clipboard" with "twist-information presentation method" based on the angle difference between user\´s head and body. The AR Clipboard is a computer-generated information clipboard that allows a user to keep virtual objects on it on a video see-through head mounted display (HMD). The twist-information presentation method provides a user with wide view of a HMD by presenting a virtual object in the peripheral space of a user\´s view, which is generated by the angle difference between the user\´s head and body. Using AR Clipboards, a user can carry virtual objects on them around his/her body and can look at one of them as long as the user turns his/her face toward a clipboard. Moreover, a user can grasp a virtual object and post it on one of the clipboards by performing hand postures.
