Abstract

We develop Hyperion a Wearable Augmented Reality (WAR) system based on Google Glass to access text information in the ambient environment. Hyperion is able to retrieve text content from users' current view and deliver the content to them in different ways according to their context.We design four work modalities for different situations that mobile users encounter in their daily activities. In addition, user interaction interfaces are provided to adapt to different application scenarios. Although Google Glass may be constrained by its poor computational capabilities and its limited battery capacity, we utilize code-level offloading to companion mobile devices to improve the runtime performance and the sustainability of WAR applications. System experiments show that Hyperion improves users ability to be aware of text information around them. Our prototype indicates promising potential of converging WAR technology and wearable devices such as Google Glass to improve people's daily activities.
