Brief summary
VRMARS is a medical simulation study in microgravity. Healthy volunteers (n=18) test in microgravity the functionnality of an augmented reality headset in which a medical assistance is displayed.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Healthy male or female volunteers. * Aged between 18 and 66. * Not currently pregnant. * Affiliated to a social security system or, for non-Europeans, holders of a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). * Have signed written consent for the study. * Have passed a standard JAR FCL3 Class 2 (Private Pilot Aptitude) medical examination less than 1 year old.
Exclusion criteria
On the day of the flight, before the volunteer boards the plane: * Flu, digestive symptoms (nausea, vomiting), fever. * Pregnancy: a urine pregnancy test will be performed on the morning of the flight before boarding. * Altered mental state (flight anxiety, phobia). * Failure to attend the safety briefing. During the flight : * Non-compliance with basic safety instructions. * Flight-related side effects: fatigue, motion sickness.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Technical validation of the headset in microgravity | 1 day | The 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 / Form | 1 day | The 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 test | 1 day | The 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) |
