MarkAR: Exploring the Benefits of Combining Microgestures and Mid-Air Marks to Trigger Commands in Augmented Reality

Proposes an interaction technique to trigger commands in Augmented Reality. It is based on a single microgesture and mid-air marks. This approach offers a promising utility and usability, even for novice users.

Paper presented at the EuroXR 2024 conference, where it won an Honorable Mention Award.
