Starting from literature and existing systems, we synthesized a set of nine interaction design patterns to develop AR fitting rooms and to support the shopping experience. The patterns were evaluated through a focus group with possible stakeholders with the aim of evaluating and envisioning the effects on the shopping experience. The focus group analysis shows as a result that the shopping experience related to an AR fitting room based on the proposed patterns is influenced by three main factors, namely: the perception of the utility, the ability to generate interest and curiosity, and the perceived comfort of the interaction and environment in which the system is installed. As a further result, the study shows that the patterns can successfully support these factors, but some elements that emerged from the focus group should be more investigated and taken into consideration by the designers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22030982","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,27]],"date-time":"2022-01-27T22:01:57Z","timestamp":1643320917000},"page":"982","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Interaction Design Patterns for Augmented Reality Fitting Rooms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7477-2439","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pietro","family":"Battistoni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University of Salerno, 84084 Fisciano, SA, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2743-9051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marianna","family":"Di Gregorio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University of Salerno, 84084 Fisciano, SA, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8581-3160","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Romano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University of Salerno, 84084 Fisciano, SA, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3731-6415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monica","family":"Sebillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University of Salerno, 84084 Fisciano, SA, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7130-996X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giuliana","family":"Vitiello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University of Salerno, 84084 Fisciano, SA, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Brancaccio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Youbiquo s.r.l., 84013 Cava de\u2019 Tirreni, SA, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.4018\/JOEUC.2018070102","article-title":"The Role of the Internet of Things in the Improvement and Expansion of Business","volume":"30","author":"Hamidi","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
