Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Technical validation of the headset in microgravity1 dayThe participant had to report to the invistigators whether the headset functioned under microgravity. Images superimposed on the real environment had to be correctly placed and stable in zero-G
Usability test HARUS / Form1 dayThe HARUS (Handheld Augmented Reality Usability Scale) is a questionnaire measuring manipulability -- the ease of handling the HAR system, and comprehensibility -- the ease of understanding the information presented by augmented reality.
NASA-TLX cognitive test1 dayThe NASA TLX is a subjective, multidimensional assessment tool that rates perceived workload in order to assess a task, system, or team's effectiveness or other aspects of performance (task loading)
