  abstract  = {This paper investigates different visualization methods in augmented reality (AR) to display obscured spaces or objects by physical barriers. Using a prototype system that combines 3D scans and AR visualization through a Meta Quest Pro, we explore the usability and effectiveness of two display modalities: point cloud and mesh visualizations. A user study with ten participants evaluates these methods across task completion time, and user experience. Results indicate a significant preference for mesh visualizations, which outperform point cloud representations in attractiveness, efficiency, and usability. These findings have relevant implications for AR applications in emergency response, construction, and other domains requiring enhanced visualization of hidden objects.},
