Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is expected to receive a major uptake with the recent availability of high quality wearable AR devices such as Microsoft’s Hololens. However, the design of interaction with AR applications and games is still a field of experimentation and upcoming innovations in sensor technology provide new ways. With this paper, we aim to provide a step towards the structured use of design patterns for sensor-based AR games, which can also inform general application development in the field of AR.
