1Augenklinik, Universitätsklinikum Ulm, Germany; 2DaimlerChrysler AG, Ulm, Germany; 3DaimlerChrysler AG, Wörth, Germany Objective: Augmented Reality (AR) enriches the true environment with visual data that has the potential to benefit operator tasks. Enhanced (augmented) reality provides the user with the possibility of location independent and context appropriate data. Data is presented to the dominant eye using laser technology over a Head-Mounted-Display (HMD) unit comprising a semi-transparent mirror. This study will evaluate the potential benefits of this new AR technology.
Methods: Fortyfive visually normal subjects were randomised into 3 study groups who completed a variety of tasks in the course of a simulated work day. Group 1 received conventional work aids (printed documents) to complete the tasks. Group 2 additionally wore an HMD unit that was turned off. Group 3 wore only a functional HMD unit without additional aids. Subjective evaluation was carried out by means of a standardised BMS-questionnaire and a d2-Concentration-Strain-Test.
Results: No significant difference was noted between the study groups in terms of mental strain, concentration performance, or in the physical/mental complaints noted subjectively during debriefing. Ten subjects reported pressure and blurred vision in both eyes as well as headaches.
Conclusions: Changes in objective ophthalmologic investigation parameters were not observed in any subjects. Subjects reported reduced acceptability of the HMD unit on non-ophthalmologic grounds, for example the weight of the unit or the length of the cable. However, advantages can be seen in terms of optimisation of operator tasks.
