Awareness of the real-world environment when using augmented reality head-mounted display.

Augmented reality (AR) systems are becoming common tools in industrial workplaces. However, factory workers are still concerned about whether head-mounted display (HMD)-based AR systems distract their awareness of the environment and therefore pose safety risks. The purpose of this study was to assess users' experience of real-world awareness when using an AR system.

User Experience of Augmented Reality System for Astronaut's Manual Work Support.

This paper introduces Augmented Reality (AR) system to support an astronaut's manual work, it has been developed in two phases. The first phase was developed in Europeans Space Agency's (ESA) project called "EdcAR-Augmented Reality for Assembly, Integration, Testing and Verification, and Operations" and the second phase was developed and evaluated within the Horizon 2020 project "WEKIT-Wearable Experience for Knowledge Intensive Training." The main aim is to create an AR based technological platform for high knowledge manual work support, in the aerospace industry with reasonable user experience.
