Augmented Reality or AR is part of the global digital transformation transition. It may be found in tablet, mobile and stereoscopic headwear like the Microsoft Hololens. Headsets are less popular so we will focus on tablet and mobile renditions of AR applications and their best inclusive practices.

Summary Points for Best AR Practice:

• Utilize collapsible nav menus (Fig. 1)

• Minimal interfaces are best to allow the field of vision to breathe (Fig. 1)

• Transparency on larger fields of color is helpful (Fig. 2)

• Maximum field of vision is an important interface rule (Fig. 1)

• Do not block the surface area that you are working with (Fig. 1)

• In AR, it is especially important to maintain 3:1 contrast ratio on UI elements like buttons (Fig. 1)

• Stereoscopic AR cannot render white which effects contrast throughout the interface

• Stereoscopic AR can render intense color which can be visually irritating

• Reduce bright RGB colors in headsets

• Neutral RGB colors are best with headsets

• Normal digital RGB palettes are fine with tablet and mobile

• Add accessibility settings (Fig. 3)
