Abstract

One of the important measures to prevent industrial accidents consists in informing a machine operator about the appearance of hazardous situation quickly and effectively enough. The main aim of the paper is to present and discuss a methodology of proving - by means of the perception assessment - that the warning signals generated using the AR approach reveal the same effectiveness as standard visual signals coming from an industrial signalling device that is of common use in machinery. Twenty volunteers constituted a paid subject population for the study. In the course of experimental task execution the warning visual signals were generated using either a standard industrial signalling device or augmented reality glasses. Despite the fact that the experimental procedure has not been completed yet very promising primary results have been obtained has indicating that both the objective and subjective assessment indicators are better for the AR warning signals.
