  Evacuation is one of the main disaster management solutions to reduce the
impact of man-made and natural threats on building occupants. To date, several
modern technologies and gamification concepts, e.g. immersive virtual reality
and serious games, have been used to enhance building evacuation preparedness
and effectiveness. Those tools have been used both to investigate human
behavior during building emergencies and to train building occupants on how to
cope with building evacuations.
  Augmented Reality (AR) is novel technology that can enhance this process
providing building occupants with virtual contents to improve their evacuation
performance. This work aims at reviewing existing AR applications developed for
building evacuation. This review identifies the disasters and types of building
those tools have been applied for. Moreover, the application goals, hardware
and evacuation stages affected by AR are also investigated in the review.
Finally, this review aims at identifying the challenges to face for further
development of AR evacuation tools.
