Abstract

Contexts as diverse as control rooms, driving and picking in logistic systems provide the backdrop to the potential of attention guiding to improve human performance. Due to recent technological progress in the field of head-mounted displays for augmented reality, attention guiding in mobile and context-sensitive situations has become widely applicable. Accordingly, the gap in existent literature concerning design, development and in particular evaluation and comparison of attention guiding techniques is surprising. Our literature reviewed showed that most studies were conducted within specific use cases and accordingly were using a specific technique. In order to start building knowledge on the comparison of techniques, we review the literature and run a focus group. From both, we derive pointers for the design and development of a universal testing environment to evaluate attention guiding techniques. We build a prototype with selected evaluation methods and test both the environment and two combined attention guiding techniques.
