Abstract
In augmented reality (AR) environments, information is oftendistributed between real and virtual contexts, and often appears atdifferent distances from the user. Therefore, to integrate theinformation, users must repeatedly switch context and refocus theeyes. Previously, Gabbard, Mehra, and Swan (2018) examined theseissues, using a text-based visual search task and a monocular opticalsee-through AR display. In this work, the authors report areplication of this earlier experiment, using a custom-built ARhaploscope. The successful replication, on a very different display,is consistent with the hypothesis that the findings are a generalproperty of AR.
