摘要：
Research into human factors issues associated with the use of augmented reality (AR) technology is very limited. Consequently, there is a need for formal human factors design guidelines to underpin the integration of AR into systems. The Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) Centre for Human Sciences (CHS) is evaluating the potential of AR for providing real-time training feedback in future advanced embedded training systems for the military. In order to understand the important human factors issues of augmented reality, DERA funded the Advanced VR Research Centre (AVRRC) at Loughborough University to investigate the cognitive ergonomics of this technology. An important aspect of this research is concerned with identifying any human information processing issues that may arise when information is presented via AR and overlaid upon one or more primary display surfaces such as a visual display unit (VDU). Two main issues are addressed in this research. First, the impact of AR on human information processing and second, subjective workload experienced when displaying information via the AR medium. The experiments reported in this paper assess issues of reaccommodation and reaction times to alarms on different display formats. They demonstrate also that AR performs as well as standard display formats. © Springer-Verlag London Led.
