Abstract: In this poster, we describe The Social AR Continuum, a space that encompasses different dimensions of Augmented Reality (AR) for sharing social experiences. We explore various dimensions, discuss options for each dimension, and brainstorm possible scenarios where these options might be useful. We describe a prototype interface using the contact placement dimension, and report on feedback from potential users which supports its usefulness for visualising social contacts. Based on this concept work, we suggest user studies in the social AR space, and give insights into future directions.
