Designing Augmented Reality Navigation Visualizations for the Vehicle: A Question of Real World Object Coverage?

摘要

Augmented reality head-up displays are emerging in automotive industry. While they have obvious advantages by showing needed information directly within the field of vision and at the exact location, problems as overlaying real world objects could occur that might lead to driver inattention. We introduce relevant design factors for augmented reality navigation visualizations and present a driving simulator study, where different augmented reality navigation designs were evaluated and the degree of coverage was varied. Performance criteria as well as subjective measurements were recorded. We found differences between the designs concerning their subjective acceptance and their navigation performance, but none of those differences could solely be explained by their degree of coverage. Future work is needed to determine effects in terms of coverage.
