Augmented Reality is a technology that overlays the real world with virtual objects such as images, three-dimensional representations, or videos. When combined with conceptual modeling, the knowledge expressed in the models can be anchored in the real, physical world in a variety of ways. We call this new direction ‘Spatial Conceptual Modeling’, as opposed to traditional, two-dimensional modeling that does not consider the spatial dimension. To illustrate the properties of spatial conceptual modeling, this talk presents the Augmented Reality Workflow Modeling Language (ARWML). This modeling language enables the definition and execution of complex augmented reality scenarios without the need for programming. The language has been implemented on the ADOxx platform as well as on a new metamodeling platform for natively supporting spatial conceptual modeling.
