Augmented Reality (AR) game-like environments can potentially enhance the experiences of jogging and other forms of individual exercise. In such exertion-based activities, participants often shift frequently between varying levels of exertion intensities that also alter their attention requirements on the environment. Traditionally, AR implementations commonly use digital visual overlays of virtual information on top real world environments; this is problematic for exertion-based activities due to these dynamic attention spans. We present JoggAR, which demonstrates a novel mixed-modality approach to AR that incorporates an on-demand wearable visual augmentation based on audio cues. This enables a form of AR suitable for jogging and other exertion-based activities.
