EyeAR: Empiric Evaluation of a Refocusable Augmented Reality System

We present the evaluation of EyeAR, a display with refocusable content based on user's eyes measurements. We carried out a user study to validate the prototype to verify that participants cannot distinguish between real and virtual objects. Participants looked at three pillars (one of which was virtual) placed at different distances from the user. They had to guess which pillar was the virtual one while freely refocusing. The results partially confirmed that our prototype creates virtual objects that are indistinguishable from real objects.
