To improve and apply cognitive and psychomotor skills for a given task, the market demands a mobile human computer interface that facilitates hands-free, context-intelligent, and personalized training/decision support services to help improve task accuracy and efficiency.

The Context-Aware Agent-Supported Augmented Reality System (CAARS) is an industry research initiative between Juxtopia, LLC and the Georgetown University Department of Computer Science to fulfill this need and develop state-of-the-art intelligent instructional systems using Mobile Augmented Reality System (MARS) technology that provides advanced training and decision support services at low costs.
The CAARS research project is investigating novel and innovative methods of improving human performance with innovations in:

1. Binocular, see-through, and human ergonomic Head Mounted Display (HMD) technology.

2. Intelligent agent based software that tailors training and decision support services to individuals based on their physical contexts and learning needs.

Results from this pioneering research will push the limits in human computer interfaces that lead to human adaptable MARS technology that improve and augment human skills in the workplace ranging from manufacturing, surgery, soldier preparedness to construction, laboratory experimentation, and engineering. Additionally, this technology has societal implications for personalizing and accelerating K-12 learning outside the classroom and into informal learning environments. Lastly, CAARS will augment entertainment and leisure technology into interactive entertainment and tourism.
