An information presentation method for head mounted display considering surrounding environments

Published:07 March 2014Publication History

ABSTRACT

When wearing a head mounted display (HMD), the degree of concentration on the HMD varies depending on the surrounding environment. In this work, we developed an information presentation method considering cognitive cost and safety in wearable computing environments. The proposed method changes its information presentation method based on possible gazing time that varies in according with the surrounding environment and user context. We used an eye tracker to measure the relationship between eyestrain and watching an HMD and also clarified the relationship between gaze time and surrounding environment. We then used the results to develop an algorithm to change the information presentation method. Evaluation results revealed cases in which it was difficult and dangerous to gaze at an HMD and therefore necessary to change the information presentation.
