A Test Platform for the Evaluation of Augmented Reality Head Mounted Displays in Industrial Applications

This paper presents a test platform for the systematic evaluation of head-mounted displays (HMDs). The focus is on an augmented reality (AR) test application for assembly tasks, which supports tests that are flexible in terms of complexity and scope, thus enabling the realistic assessment of usability, comfort and ergonomics by the test users.
