Wearable Augmented Reality (AR) has attracted considerable attention in recent years, as evidenced by the growing number of research publications and industry investments. With swift advancements and a multitude of interdisciplinary research areas within wearable AR, a comprehensive review is crucial for integrating the current state of the field. In this paper, we present a review of 389 research papers on wearable AR, published between 2018 and 2022 in three major venues: ISMAR, TVCG, and CHI. Drawing inspiration from previous works by Zhou et al. and Kim et al., which summarized AR research at ISMAR over the past two decades (1998-2017), we categorize the papers into different topics and identify prevailing trends. One notable finding is that wearable AR research is increasingly geared towards enabling broader consumer adoption. From our analysis, we highlight key observations related to potential future research areas essential for capitalizing on this trend and achieving widespread adoption. These include addressing challenges in Display, Tracking, Interaction, and Applications, and exploring emerging frontiers in Ethics, Accessibility, Avatar and Embodiment, and Intelligent Virtual Agents.

The global solar market is booming with a rapid growth in installed integrated devices, while photovoltaic (PV) systems are suffering from waste heat, which causes the decline of the photovoltaic conversion efficiency (PCE). This study presents the seamless integration of the ionic thermoelectric generator (iTEG) layer with traditional PV modules, facilitating the exploitation of waste heat and augmenting the overall power output. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the iTEG, demonstrating substantial power generation and a consistent energy output.
