AI Summary

This work addresses the dual potential and risks of Persistent Augmented Reality (PAR) as it becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life, calling for systematic identification of its interdisciplinary challenges and the development of robust safety frameworks. Through organizing a workshop at the IHM’25 conference—the first such initiative at the French-speaking International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction—the authors employed collaborative deliberation and collective intelligence methods to bring together researchers from diverse fields. This effort resulted in a shared articulation of PAR’s technical, social, and ethical dimensions. The project yields a structured research agenda and a taxonomy of key challenges, offering a foundational roadmap to guide future technological development, policy formulation, and responsible innovation in the domain of persistent augmented reality.

Abstract

As we move towards more ubiquitous computing, the concept of pervasive augmented reality (PAR) could lead to a major evolution in the relationship between humans, computing and the world. The experience of a continuously augmented world can have both benefits and undesirable consequences for users'lives, and raises many questions in multiple areas. In this workshop, we wanted to bring together all IHM'25 conference participants who are concerned or enthusiastic about discussing this topic. The aim was to draw on collective intelligence to identify the interdisciplinary challenges that remain to be resolved in order to enable the implementation of these technologies in everyday life, but also to define the necessary safeguards. Is PAR too techno-enthusiastic? All of these elements were grouped into categories to define a set of future major areas of research around permanent augmented reality. This document is in French as the conference is a French-speaking international conference.
