Abstract
We describe the development and use of a mixed reality (MR) testbed to evaluate potential scenarios that may alleviate performance deficits in subjects who may be experiencing cognitive deficiencies, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The system blends real world sensory data with synthetic enhancements in the visual and aural domains. It captures user actions (movement, view direction, environment interaction, and task performance) and psychophysical states (engagement, workload, and skin conductivity) during an MR-enabled experience in order to determine task performance in the context of a variety of stimuli (visual and aural distracters in time-constrained activities). The goal is to discover triggers that affect stress levels and task performance in order to develop individualized plans for personal improvement.
