[Interaction-ergonomic design and compatibility of AR-supported information displays using the example of a head-mounted display for industrial set-up processes].

In the course of technological progress, analog solutions are increasingly replaced by digital ones. In this context, novel visualization options, such as Augmented Reality (AR), are more and more important. However, handling AR-based information displays can lead to performance losses and increased physical as well as psychological strain if the design is incompatible. Due to rapid technological advancements, existing ergonomic and user-centered guidelines and legal regulations can only support the design and usability of such systems to a limited extent. This paper presents a practical example by showing to what extent a cyber-physical set-up application in the form of a head-mounted display complies with or meets the applicable interaction ergonomics and compatibility standards in the context of industrial activities and gesture-controlled, binocular AR systems. The results presented play an important role in practice, since the system presented is intended to support workers in complex set-up and assembly processes. Based on these findings and with the help of further optimization possibilities the aim is to achieve a process-safe, value-adding and strain-minimizing use of AR systems in industrial environment.
