Abstract
The paper deals with target selection techniques for wearable augmented reality systems. In particular, we focus on the three techniques most commonly used in distant freehand pointing and clicking on large displays: wait to click, air tap and thumb trigger. The paper details the design of the techniques for a touchless augmented reality interface and provides the results of a preliminary usability evaluation carried out in out-of-lab settings.
