Overview

We don’t know much about how augmented reality (AR) affects our memories. More specifically, if a person using AR is shown visual content in a certain physical environment, will they be more likely to remember it spontaneously (for example, when they return to the same physical environment later or simply think about it) than if they had been shown the content using an ordinary screen?

Findings

AR elicits approximately twice as many IAMs in controlled settings, although no measurable effect was found in everyday settings.

Overview

False Memories and Extended Reality Technologies have been a bit explored, and 30% of our memories recalled wrongly the source of an item ("Have I seen the apple in XR or in Real?"). No solution has been proposed, and this project aimed at examining which visual cues could help to remember correctly the source of the item.
