“…As a consequence of the stretch being too tight, half of the participants felt physical discomfort and 75% of them felt a bit of fatigue but still tolerable after using the headset. However, these outcomes concur with the results of a previous research (Wille et al 2014) on smart eyewear (commercialized HMD) . Indeed, their results showed that even that there were no significant quantitative results proving a visual fatigue of the users (such as blink rate, etc.)…”

Purpose Smart eyewear, such as augmented or virtual reality headset, allows the projection of virtual content through a display worn on the user’s head. This paper aims to present a mobile platform, named “CARTON”, which transforms a smartphone into smart eyewear, following a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach. This platform is composed of three main components: a blueprint to build the hardware prototype with very simple materials and regular tools; a software development kit (SDK) to help with the development of new applications (e.g. augmented reality app); and, finally, a second SDK (ControlWear) to interact with mobile applications through a Smartwatch. Design/methodology/approach User experiments were conducted, in which participants were asked to create, by themselves, the CARTON’s hardware part and perform usability tests with their own creation. A second round of experimentation was conducted to evaluate three different interaction modalities. Findings Qualitative user feedback and quantitative results prove that CARTON is functional and feasible to anyone, without specific skills. The results also showed that ControlWear had the most positive results, compared with the other interaction modalities, and that user interaction preference would vary depending on the task. Originality/value The authors describe a novel way to create a smart eyewear available for a wide audience around the world. By providing everything open-source and open-hardware, they intend to solve the reachability of technologies related to smart eyewear and aim to accelerate research around it.

This paper presents a tool to transform a smartphone into a smart eyewear, named "CARTON", following a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) approach. The hardware prototype is made with very simple materials and regular tools we could find anywhere. It also includes a Software Development Kit (SDK) with samples in order to easily adapt or develop new mobile app compatible with this kind of device. By providing everything open-source and open-hardware, we intend to solve the reachability of technologies related to smart eyewear and aim to accelerate research around it. Users experiments were conducted in which participants were asked to create, by themselves, the CARTON's hardware part and perform usability tests with their own creation. Qualitative user feedback and quantitative results prove that CARTON is functional and feasible by anyone, without specific skills.

“…It has been shown for example that the unfamiliarity with AR could result in lower performance as has been reported in prior work [74]. In addition, the user experience in both conditions has been rated very positively with a higher score for AR regarding the hedonic factors represented by Stimulation and Novelty.…”

(a) Participant interacting with VocabulARy during the study; (b) VocabulARy prototype though HoloLens2 in KEYWORD + VISUALISATION instruction mode (the Japanese word "hagaki" sounds as the English phrase "hug a key" (keyword) and visualised with an animated hand grabbing a key (visualisation)); (c) Participant interacting with non-AR version of VocabulARy in KEYWORD instruction mode (Note there is no visualisation of the keyword). AR and non-AR condition were tested with both instruction modes.
