Evaluating LevelEd AR: An Indoor Modelling Application for Serious Games Level Design

We developed an application that makes indoor modelling accessible by utilizing consumer grade technology in the form of Apple's ARKit and a smartphone to assist with serious games level design. We compared our system to that of a tape measure and a system based on an infra-red depth sensor and application. We evaluated the accuracy and efficiency of each system over four different measuring tasks of increasing complexity. Our results suggest that our application is more accurate than the depth sensor system and as accurate and more time efficient as the tape measure over several tasks. Participants also showed a preference to our LevelEd AR application over the depth sensor system regarding usability.
