Ora sì ch'io son contenta: sembra fatto inver per me. Identifying User Requirements for Wearable Augmented Reality at Opera

The purpose of this study is to propose a User Experience (UX) model to support the design of a wearable Augmented Reality (AR) application for Opera. To this end, it implements the UX approach by Hassenzahl and Tractinsky [17] and User-Centered Design methods within a People Action Context Technologies (PACT) analysis. The preliminary results identify users' requirements relating to People, Actions and Contexts for a visual AR interface at Opera. The study contributes to generate useful knowledge to support the design of visual AR interfaces for predominantly hedonic contexts, such as performative arts. Further, being among the first to investigate UX for wearable AR at Opera, this study provides a foundation for the implementation of wearable digital applications in this context.
