abstract = {Perceptual manipulations (PMs) like redirected walking (RDW) are frequently applied in Virtual Reality (VR) to overcome technological limitations. These PMs manipulate the user’s visual perceptions (e.g. rotational gains), which is currently challenging in Augmented Reality (AR). We propose SwitchAR, a PM for video pass-through AR leveraging change and inattentional blindness to imperceptibly switch between the camera stream of the real environment and a 3D reconstruction. This enables VR redirection techniques in what users still perceive as AR. We present our pipeline consisting of (1) Reconstruction, (2) Switch (AR -> VR), (3) PM and (4) Switch (VR -> AR), together with a prototype implementing this pipeline. SwitchAR is a fundamental basis enabling AR PMs.},
