Comparative Analysis of Mixed Reality Screen Extensions and Laser Safety Goggles in Laser Laboratories

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: In laser laboratories, user ergonomics and visibility are key concerns. Users must concentrate on small surfaces by watching telescope- generated images displayed on the screen to conduct measurement. Through a mixed reality head-mounted display (MR-HMD), they see the real world while being physically separated from hazardous laser radiations and can view telescope images on the HMD at the same time. In this poster, we conducted a comparative analysis of an MR screen extension versus a traditional laser safety goggle (LG) during an optical observation task in a laser laboratory. Results from our user study indicate that the MR condition significantly outperformed the LG condition in terms of speed and user preference.
