Abstract
Recent advance in the design of near-eye displays
means that the technology is mature for industrial use. A near
eye display has been used as part of a remote mobile guiding
system for maintenance operators in mines. In this system, a near
eye display is mounted on a helmet worn by a mobile operator to
display visual aids sent from a remote helper. The near eye
display is partially occluding the view of the operator. In this
paper we are interested in exploring the extent to which the
partial occlusion of the operator’s view is affecting his spatial
understanding. In particular, we present an exploratory study
investigating the potential impact of the near-eye display on
spatial awareness of the operator. Usability was also studied. The
study found no evidence showing that near-eye displays had
negative impact on spatial awareness and users were also positive
about the usability of the near-eye display for remote
maintenance.
