Privacy concerns are an often cited obstacle to consumer adoption of augmented reality (AR) technology, but research has not yet developed a specific measurement scale to capture these concerns. We address this need by drawing on AR and privacy literature to develop a ten-item Augmented Reality Information Privacy Concerns (ARIPC) scale.
