Creating Augmented Reality (AR) applications can be challenging, especially for persons with little or no technical background. This work introduces a concept for pattern-based AR applications that we call AR nuggets. One AR nugget reflects a single pattern from an application domain and includes placeholder objects and default parameters. Authors of AR applications can start with an AR nugget as an executable stand-alone application and customize it. This aims to support and facilitate the authoring process. Additionally, this paper identifies suitable application patterns that serve as a basis for AR nuggets. We implement and adapt AR nuggets to an exemplary use case in the medical domain. In an expert user study, we show that AR nuggets add a statistically significant value to an educational course and can support continuing education in the medical domain.

In a collaborative environment where more than a single user need to complete a task together, being able to understand each other's emotional status is essential for a successful outcome. This is especially evident in remote collaboration tasks where the physical distance may create a lack of understanding, empathy, and comprehension between the partners. Typical remote collaboration systems share less information than that can be communicated in a physical interaction, which makes supporting awareness very challenging. Our proposed visual representation allows users to infer emotional patterns from physiological data, which could impact their communication style towards a more forceful or inactive and calm association. We investigate the potential effects of the proposed visual representation to support empathetic communication during remote collaboration, as well as the design guidelines for building such systems.
