Consideration of Presentation Timing in Bicycle Navigation Using Smart Glasses

Abstract

In recent years, applications for bicycle navigation and navigation devices for bicycles attached near bicycle handlebars have appeared. The numbers of outings and home deliveries using them are increasing. However, when checking and operating these navigation systems, one must devote close attention to the handle. Safety confirmation of the surroundings can therefore be neglected. As described herein, we use smart glasses as a means to resolve this difficulty. Because smart glasses for cyclists are used overseas, investigation results have shown that much unnecessary information exists for navigation and show them to be unsuitable for navigation. Therefore, this research was conducted to examine the navigation application specifically and to verify the contents necessary for a system suitable bicycle riding. We examine and evaluate the appropriate timing for presenting information.
