Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) systems need to beevaluated for their appropriateness for a giventask. Three approaches are used with this paperto evaluate the Waterpump Augmented RealityTool (WART). The system is assessed usingverbal protocol, performance time and aquestionnaire. The WART system is comparedwith a paper version of the assemblyinstructions. The verbal protocol revealed thatthere was more cognitive processing for thepaper version of task than WART, it took longerto complete the task with WART than the paperversion and the questionnaire revealed the effecton performance of problems associated with AR.All of the participants in the evaluation,however, were positive about WART, andappreciated its usefulness.
