Auburn University received a $482,441 CAREER award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computing and Communication Foundations under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031. The project develops a human-centered theoretical framework for augmented reality (AR) interfaces by synthesizing knowledge from industry, academia, and policy to establish evidence-based design standards and guidelines. Working in partnership with public libraries, the project offers free, hands-on AR experiences to community members with limited technology exposure, ensuring the resulting framework is generalizable across diverse user populations and contexts. The research establishes the foundational theories needed for AR systems to adapt to individual user needs in real time, with the goal of improving safety and usability in complex environments such as hospitals and industrial settings. The deliverables include a validated AR display design framework that will serve as a resource to guide future human-centered AR research and development, alongside workforce development outcomes through training the next generation of researchers in meaningful community engagement. By broadening public access to emerging technology and establishing design standards currently lacking in the field, the project addresses critical gaps in AR safety and effectiveness while advancing the National Science Foundation's mission to make emerging technologies more accessible and safer for all Americans. No sub-awards are planned for this award.
