Provides a standardized benchmark for evaluating text rendering quality in AR headsets.
The authors created the Read-AR dataset with over 11,000 reading speeds and 6,000 quality/comfort ratings across 80+ conditions to benchmark AR headset architectures.
The rendering and display of text is a key use-case for augmented reality (AR). Here, we present the Read-AR, a dataset of reading in AR, for which we collected over 11,000 reading speeds and almost 6000 visual quality and comfort ratings across over 80 different experiment conditions on the same experiment set-up. The consistent, controlled set-up enables the dataset to function as a reference for benchmarking the quality of different AR headset architectures.
