The Lessons Learned in the Application of Augmented Reality

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the lessons learned from research conducted on behalf of the UK MoD into the application of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies. The lessons learned include technological and procedural aspects discovered during the preliminary research, user field trials and subsequent feedback. The paper is primarily focused on the application of AR in the training domain and in particular the use of AR to support Forward Air Controller training. However, the lessons learned also apply to the use of AR in operational and test and evaluation domains.
