Poster: Investigation on the peripheral visual field for information display with real and virtual wide field-of-view see-through HMDs

Wide-view HMDs allow users to use their peripheral vision in a wearable augmented reality (AR) system. In this study, we evaluate the effectiveness of wide FOV see-through HMDs. Experimental results show that distribution of annotations to peripheral vision decreases the discovery rate of them especially with FOV at more than approximately 81?. Additionally, annotations with an added blinking effect have little effect on target discovery rates regardless of viewing angle.
