“…A possible explanation for the difference between BT300 + SMGL and HL + SMGL, in terms of operative performances, could be related to the spatialization of the information of the MR system. In fact, while in assisted reality systems, the display with all the information is always visible in front of the operator, in the MR system, information are in a precise position of the real environment and, without familiarity with this technology, can be di cult to nd [43]. The scores regarding the statements for "simplicity of use" and "speed of the system" in the IBM-PSSUQ were higher for the conventional system.…”

Modern livestock farm technologies allow operators to have access to a multitude of data thanks to the high number of mobile and fixed sensors available on both the livestock farming machinery and the animals. These data can be consulted via PC, tablet, and smartphone, which must be handheld by the operators, leading to an increase in the time needed for on-field activities. In this scenario, the use of augmented reality smart glasses could allow the visualization of data directly in the field, providing for a hands-free environment for the operator to work. Nevertheless, to visualize specific animal information, a connection between the augmented reality smart glasses and electronic animal identification is needed. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to develop and test a wearable framework, called SmartGlove that is able to link RFID animal tags and augmented reality smart glasses via a Bluetooth connection, allowing the visualization of specific animal data directly in the field. Moreover, another objective of the study was to compare different levels of augmented reality technologies (assisted reality vs. mixed reality) to assess the most suitable solution for livestock management scenarios. For this reason, the developed framework and the related augmented reality smart glasses applications were tested in the laboratory and in the field. Furthermore, the stakeholders’ point of view was analyzed using two standard questionnaires, the NASA-Task Load Index and the IBM-Post Study System Usability Questionnaire. The outcomes of the laboratory tests underlined promising results regarding the operating performances of the developed framework, showing no significant differences if compared to a commercial RFID reader. During the on-field trial, all the tested systems were capable of performing the task in a short time frame. Furthermore, the operators underlined the advantages of using the SmartGlove system coupled with the augmented reality smart glasses for the direct on-field visualization of animal data.

“…However, we can get an idea of this from studies of HUDs (Head Up Displays) which suggest that the information produced and that of the real world belong to two distinct perceptual groups [21] and that switching from one to the other can lead to attentional costs and longer reaction times. These effects are considerably amplified during visualisations involving haptic input, which can lead to attentional blindness [22], a phenomenon that results in the fixation of cognitive resources on a single group of information, thus affecting the ability of the visual system to detect and respond rapidly to events outside that group [23]. This lack of attention is explained by the limited processing capacity of the cognitive system, which is unable to process information from different perceptual clusters simultaneously.…”

“…Nous pouvons toutefois en avoir une idée grâce aux études menées sur les HUD (Head Up Display en anglais) qui laissent penser que les informations produites et celles du monde réel appartiennent à deux groupes perceptifs distincts [21] et que le passage de l'un à l'autre peut entraîner des coûts attentionnels et des temps de réaction plus longs. Ces effets sont considérablement amplifiés lors de vi- sualisations impliquant des sollicitations haptiques, pouvant conduire à une cécité attentionnelle [22], un phénomène qui se traduit par une fixation des ressources cognitives sur un seul groupe d'informations, affectant ainsi la capacité du système visuel à détecter et à répondre rapidement à des événements extérieurs à ce groupe [23]. Ce défaut d'attention s'explique par la capacité de traitement limitée du système cognitif, qui ne permet pas de traiter simultanément des informations provenant de différents groupes perceptifs.…”

In this paper, we present some thoughts about the recent developments, made possible by technological advances and miniaturisation of connected visual prostheses, linked to the visual system, operating at different level of this one, on the retina as well as in the visual cortex. While these objects represent a great hope for people with impaired vision to recover partial vision, we show how this technology could also act on the functional vision of well sighted persons to improve or increase their visual performance. In addition to the impact on our cognitive and attentional mechanisms, such an operation when it originates outside the natural real visual field (e.g. cybernetics) raises a number of questions about the development and use of such implants or prostheses in the future.Résumé. Nous présentons dans ce compte rendu quelques réflexions liées aux développements récents, rendus possible grâce aux progrès technologiques et à la miniaturisation, de prothèses visuelles connectées, liées au système visuel et pouvant intervenir à différents endroits de celui-ci, aussi bien sur la rétine qu'au niveau du cortex visuel. Si ces objets constituent un grand espoir, pour les personnes mal, ou non-voyantes, de pouvoir récupérer une vision partielle, on montre comment cette technologie pourrait également agir sur la vision fonctionnelle de bien-voyants afin d'en améliorer ou augmenter les performances. Outre l'impact sur nos mécanismes cognitifs et attentionnels, une telle intervention lorsqu'elle trouve son origine hors du champ visuel naturel (par exemple cybernétique) pose un certain nombre de questions sur le développement et l'utilisation de tels implants ou prothèses dans le futur.

“…Since complex systems can be presented more tangibly and understandably by using AR which develops the user's perception of the real world (Azuma, 1997), it can revolutionize industrial processes (Bellalouna, 2021; Masood and Egger, 2020). Therefore, AR has become used for many industrial processes today (Drouot et al. , 2022), and various sectors have benefited from it, such as automotive, aerospace and mechanical (de Souza Cardoso et al.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationships between augmented reality, process innovativeness and operational performance.Design/methodology/approachThis research is based on a quantitative approach using a questionnaire survey from a total of 117 firms in the automotive sector. The hypothesized relationships are tested using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThis study demonstrates that augmented reality is positively associated with process innovativeness, and process innovativeness is positively related to operational performance. Furthermore, it is found that process innovativeness fully mediates the relationship between augmented reality and operational performance.Originality/valueAlthough augmented reality attracts great attention from academics and practitioners, the current literature lacks an empirical investigation on how augmented reality creates value for the business. Addressing this crucial gap, this research is the first attempt to empirically reveal the role of augmented reality in facilitating process innovativeness and also unearthing how augmented reality improves operational performance. Therefore, this study offers novel insights into the role of augmented reality in business and provides theoretical and managerial contributions.
