Title: "A Survey on the User Interface Design in Augmented Reality for 
Real-Time Tasks"

Abstract:

Augmented Reality (AR)  is a human-computer interaction technology towards 
natural interaction and invisible computer interface. By superimposing 
digital objects in the physical environments, AR can enhance people's 
perception of the dynamic real world by presenting information that is 
hard for human senses to perceive and give in-situ action guidance. Thus, 
various AR applications are designed to assist users in completing urgent 
tasks in complex circumstances. The user interface is one of the key 
components of these applications, while its design has had few 
breakthroughs in the past two decades. These applications have more and 
more end users nowadays, so it is time to consider their user interface 
design to provide a better user experience. However, existing works lack 
an overview of current design practices in existing AR applications, such 
as the user needs and design considerations. To fill this gap,  we first 
identify four types of user needs and classify existing applications based 
on these needs. Then we conduct an in-depth analysis of the user interface 
design, identify six common design dimensions, and summarize current 
practices. We conclude with a discussion about limitations and future 
directions for improving user interface design for AR applications that 
facilitate real-time tasks.
