Popis: Tutorials are one of the most fundamental means of conveying knowledge. Ideally, tutorials not only describe each step via text or audio narration but show it as well using photos or animation. In most cases, tutorial authors capture media from handheld mobile devices to import into these documents, but increasingly they use wearable devices as well. Here, the authors explore the use of head-mounted capture for authoring tutorials. They have developed a media capture tool for Google Glass that requires minimal attention to the capture device and instead allows the author to focus on creating the tutorial content. They describe a study comparing standalone (camera-on-tripod) versus wearable (Google Glass) capture, showing that tutorial authors prefer wearable capture devices, especially when recording activities involving larger objects in nontabletop environments. This article is part of a special issue on digitally enhanced reality.
