Abstract
The authors present a model for bringing the coordination power of workflow management systems to outdoor wearable augmented reality (AR) systems. They portray how mobile equipment may be integrated with adaptive, context-aware work environments. A scenario of a medical emergency task is described to illustrate the functionality of this form of collaboration system. Appropriate information stickers are introduced to support data collection in medical emergency scenarios in a sophisticated form through a hands-free user interface for medical personnel. They propose the use of new user interface technology, including multimedia, AR information stickers, and the allocation of patient medical records to identified locations of the human body. A key feature is the access to relevant information for users in the mobile environment as well as for those in the advanced control room. An additional advantage is the automatic recording of on-site data, which helps to build the medical record of a patient without interfering with the work of the emergency team.
