Abstract:
Environmental factors, such as fog and darkness, significantly limit the visibility of security personnel. In addition, limited field knowledge and inexperience can lead to misinterpretation of events, which may endanger both the task and human lives. Our study compares the situational awareness of participants and the effectiveness of purpose-built mobile applications and Mixed Reality (MR) glasses in security-related scenarios for navigation involving capturing a moving hostile target in a forested environment. Results of the experiments in terms of task completion time, navigation accuracy and questionnaire responses show that the utilization of MR technology improves situational awareness and user engagement compared to the 2D map-based mobile applications.
