Abstract

We describe a first experiment in evaluating the system capabilities of the Battlefield Augmented Reality System, an interactive system designed to present military information to dismounted warfighters. We describe not just the current experiment, but a methodology of both system evaluation and user performance measurement in the system, and show how both types of tests will be useful in system development. We summarize results in a perceptual experiment being used to inform system design, and discuss ongoing and future experiments to which the work described herein leads.
