“…Despite the applications of stereoscopic augmented reality being extensively explored, the visual aftereffects of using this technology have gained only a little attention so far. Specifically, no considerable changes were found in both convergence and accommodation when analyzing the group's average results before and after performing the near task for 30 minutes based on the instructions displayed in stereoscopic augmented reality 9 . However, acknowledging the individual variations in visual responses led to identifying three different types of changes comparing accommodation behavior before and after using a headset for the same amount of time 10 .…”

Extended reality human factors studies commonly utilize an approach in which group behavior is reported. This possibly masks the true prevalence of oculomotor changes that appear in response to stereoscopic augmented reality. Thus, the study aimed to elucidate the prevalence, direction, and magnitude of oculomotor changes after the near work in stereoscopic augmented reality. The task of fifty-three subjects (18-28 years old, normal visual acuity, no vision complaints) was to type the text displayed at 60 cm as accurately and quickly as possible. Each subject participated in two sessions – the text was displayed in stereoscopic augmented reality and on the computer screen. Clinical assessments of visual parameters were performed before and immediately after 30 minutes of the task. As a result, individual variations were found in the magnitude and direction of oculomotor changes after the near work. After the use of stereoscopic augmented reality, adverse changes in vergence and accommodation were observed in about 40% of the group. Despite the prevalence of adverse oculomotor changes being similar in the case of text displayed on the computer screen, only less than 20% of the group showed a decline of visual parameters in both viewing conditions. The exploratory study highlights the necessity to consider individual variations in visual responses and identify groups that might benefit or be disadvantaged in using stereoscopic augmented reality technologies.

“…This is also due to the strong relationship between mental and physical load and the type of device used. Concerning the workload, it is also interesting to underline that only one recent study (Drouot, Le Bigot, Bolloc'h, Bricard, de Bougrenet & Nourrit, 2021) has focused, specifically, on the impacts on the visual system of operators. Research by Drouot et al (2021) has specifically investigated the visual system and subjective fatigue symptoms (blurred vision, sore/aching eyes, and headache) during working activities.…”

Purpose: The correct interaction between the workforce and augmented, virtual, and mixed reality technologies represents a crucial aspect of the success of the smart factory. This interaction is, indeed, affected by the variability of human behavior and its reliability, which can strongly influence the quality, safety, and productivity standards. For this reason, this paper aims to provide a clear and complete analysis of the impacts of these technologies on the performance of operators.Design/methodology/approach: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted to identify peer-reviewed papers that focused on the implementation of augmented and virtual technologies in manufacturing systems and their effects on human performance.Findings: In total, 61 papers were selected and thoroughly analyzed. The findings of this study reveal that Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality can be applied for several applications in manufacturing systems with different types of devices, that involve various advantages and disadvantages. The worker’s performance that are influencing by the use of these technologies are above all time to complete a task, error rate and mental and physical workload. Originality/value: Over the years Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality technologies in manufacturing systems have been investigated by researchers. Several studies mostly focused on technological issues, have been conducted. The role of the operator, whose tasks may be influenced positively or negatively by the use of new devices, has been hardly ever analyzed and a deep analysis of human performance affected by these technologies is missing. This study represents a preliminary analysis to fill this gap. The results obtained from the SLR allowed us to develop a conceptual framework that investigates the current state-of-the-art knowledge about the topic and highlights gaps in the current research.

“…It is understandable that the sensory stimulation changes completely, putting our perceptual system to the test, especially if the rate increases for productivity purposes (Chaplin's version of modern times 5.0) [20]. The display potential of mixed reality content that technology can produce today far exceeds the capacity of our brain to assimilate and analyse it, given that it all passes through only a few mm 2 of retinal epithelial tissue.…”

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.
