Examining the Presentation of Information in Augmented Reality Headsets for Situational AwarenessJulia Woodward, Jesse Smith, Isaac Wang, Sofia Cuenca, and Jaime Ruiz
Augmented Reality (AR) headsets are being employed in industrial settings (e.g., the oil industry); however, there has been little work on how information should be presented in these headsets, especially in the context of situational awareness. We present a study examining three different presentation styles (Display, Environment, Mixed Environment) for textual secondary information in AR headsets. We found that the Display and Environment presentation styles assisted in perception and comprehension. Our work contributes a first step to understanding how to design visual information in AR headsets to support situational awareness.
