Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Technical validation of the headset in microgravity

The participant had to report to the invistigators whether the headset functioned under microgravity. Images superimposed on the real environment had to be correctly placed and stable in zero-G

Time frame: 1 day

Usability test HARUS / Form

The HARUS (Handheld Augmented Reality Usability Scale) is a questionnaire measuring manipulability -- the ease of handling the HAR system, and comprehensibility -- the ease of understanding the information presented by augmented reality.

Time frame: 1 day

NASA-TLX cognitive test

The NASA TLX is a subjective, multidimensional assessment tool that rates perceived workload in order to assess a task, system, or team's effectiveness or other aspects of performance (task loading)
