Towards Situation Awareness and Attention Guidance in a Multiplayer Environment using Augmented Reality and Carcassonne

Many senses, smell, touch, hearing, and sight, can potentially be augmented, though the most common application of AR is sight, using a head-mounted display [2]. Several users may simultaneously access and operate a shared digitally augmented environment, either at the same place or remotely. Users commonly interact with each other and the augmented elements in this virtual framework by using hand gestures, movement, and even gaze. The interactive nature of AR, as well as its direct connection to the real world, have produced extensive research work and industrial applications of AR to different fields such as education, entertainment, medicine, and retail [6]. Human-Computer interaction in games (HCI-games) is a very broad field that covers research on the many ways in which human players interact with digital games that, given their interactive, playful, and challenging nature, present a rich field of study separated from human-computer interaction in other forms of software [1].
