Summary

Head-worn augmented reality (AR) viewers offer a comfortable and pleasant user experience compared to handheld devices. While generally comfortable, potential visual fatigue issues with AR technology require further investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Augmented Reality Systems
  • Wearable Technology

Background:

  • Traditional augmented reality (AR) applications often rely on handheld devices, which can restrict user interaction and immersion.
  • The advent of lightweight, head-mounted displays (HMDs) presents an opportunity to enhance AR user experience.
  • Limited research exists on the comparative comfort and user experience of head-worn AR viewers versus handheld devices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the comfort and user experience of a see-through, head-worn AR viewer.
  • To compare the performance of head-worn AR devices against traditional handheld devices in terms of user comfort.
  • To assess user experience in both controlled laboratory settings and natural, real-world environments.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted two experiments to assess the comfort of wearing a head-worn AR viewer.
  • Included a controlled experimental setting and a naturalistic field evaluation.
  • Investigated user experience aspects, including comfort and social perception, during the field evaluation.

Main Results:

  • The head-mounted display was found to be comfortable to wear across different contexts.
  • Participants in field trials reported a pleasant overall user experience.
  • No significant concerns regarding social impression were noted by participants during field use.
  • Potential issues related to visual fatigue were identified.

Conclusions:

  • Head-worn AR viewers demonstrate significant potential for comfortable and engaging user experiences.
  • The comfort of AR HMDs is maintained in both controlled and naturalistic settings.
  • Further research is recommended to address and mitigate potential visual fatigue associated with prolonged AR use.
