ARviz
An Augmented
Reality-Enabled Visualization
Platform for ROS Applications

urrent robot interfaces, such as teach pendants
and 2D screen displays, used for task visualization
and interaction often seem unintuitive and
limited in terms of information flow. This
compromises task efficiency as interacting with
the interface can distract the user from the task at hand.
Augmented reality (AR) technology offers the capability to
create visually rich displays and intuitive interaction elements
in situ. In recent years, AR has shown promising potential to
enable effective human-robot interaction (HRI). We

introduce ARviz, a versatile, extendable AR visualization
platform built for robot applications developed with the
widely used robot operating system (ROS) framework.
ARviz aims to provide both a universal visualization
platform with the capability of displaying any ROS message
data type in AR, as well as a multimodal user interface for
interacting with robots over ROS. ARviz is built as a platform
incorporating a collection of plugins that provide
visualization and/or interaction components. Users can also
extend the platform by implementing new plugins to suit
their needs. We present three use cases as well as two
potential use cases to showcase the capabilities and benefits
of the ARviz platform for HRI applications. The open access
