Abstract :
An augmented reality system enhances a mobile user´s situational awareness and provides new visualization functionality. The custom-built multimodal interface provides access to information encountered in urban environments. In this article, we detail our experiences with various input devices and modalities and discuss their advantages and drawbacks in the context of interaction tasks in mobile computing. We show how we integrated the input channels to use the modalities beneficially and how this enhances the interface´s overall usability
