Human Factors in Augmented Reality

Description: This quiz is designed to assess your knowledge of Human Factors in Augmented Reality. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view. Human Factors is the study of how humans interact with machines and systems. In the context of AR, Human Factors is concerned with how users interact with AR devices and applications.

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

AR can cause visual fatigue, impair depth perception, and cause motion sickness. These effects can be minimized by carefully designing AR applications and by providing users with breaks from AR use.

How can spatial awareness be affected by AR?

  1. AR can make it difficult to navigate the real world.

  2. AR can cause users to lose track of their surroundings.

  3. AR can lead to accidents.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

AR can make it difficult to navigate the real world, cause users to lose track of their surroundings, and lead to accidents. These risks can be reduced by providing users with clear instructions and by designing AR applications that are easy to use.

How can cognitive load be affected by AR?

  1. AR can increase cognitive load.

  2. AR can decrease cognitive load.

  3. AR has no effect on cognitive load.

  4. The effect of AR on cognitive load depends on the specific AR application.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The effect of AR on cognitive load depends on the specific AR application. Some AR applications can increase cognitive load, while others can decrease cognitive load. It is important to design AR applications that minimize cognitive load.
