Abstract

This study investigates the effects of Augmented Reality (AR) graphics on a drivers’ distance estimation and depth perception when using a video-based, AR-enhanced driver’s side mirror. Sixteen participants took part in the study, eight in a driving simulator and eight outside in a stationary vehicle. Participants experienced three different AR display image conditions, three different glance patterns, three different target vehicle speeds, and two own-vehicle image conditions. Distance data and confidence data were collected for each particpant and analyzed for any correlation between the conditions and performance. The results suggest that various AR images affected depth judgements and confidence levels. In addition, the vehicle speed and glance pattern of the videos also had significant effects.
