Physical Stresses and Strains of Augmented Reality Glasses

The implementation of augmented reality systems as an assistance for monitoring, control and execution of assembly processes emerges from innovative projects related to Industry 4.0. In the present study, it was examined from the point of view of work science which physical stresses affect users when using augmented reality glasses and which stresses can result from this on the human body. A group of 20 subjects carried out drawing tasks with three different data glasses. The knowledge gained can help to facilitate the introduction and daily work with augmented reality glasses within the industrial environment, and to ensure that employees can carry out their work and, above all, without injuries © 2023 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston, Germany.
