TL;DR
Results showed that MR significantly increased perceived presence, while the screen-based simulator produced higher n-back success rates, and that the benefits of MR flight simulation may depend on whether tasks make use of its spatial and embodied affordances.
Abstract
This paper examines how mixed reality (MR) and screen-based flight simulators affect user performance and experience under varying cognitive load. In a controlled study with 24 participants, we compared MR and screen-based simulation under low and high cognitive load using three concurrent tasks: an n-back task, a reaction-time task, and flight-status questions. Results showed that MR significantly increased perceived presence, while the screen-based simulator produced higher n-back success rates. We found no significant modality differences in reaction time or error rate. These findings suggest that increased presence does not necessarily improve performance, and that the benefits of MR flight simulation may depend on whether tasks make use of its spatial and embodied affordances.
This study compared three test environments — real traffic, an MRV setup, and a high-fidelity driving simulator — in evaluating a novel driver assistance system and demonstrated absolute validity in measuring cognitive load and acceptance (usefulness) of the system.

Mobile virtual reality (MVR) provides low-cost access to extended reality (XR), but its limited input restricts use of common locomotion techniques such as head-decoupled and velocity-controlled steering. Using a low-cost controller with an audio-based button, we compared gaze- and controller-directed steering and tele...

In this study, N=36 pilot students tested the efficiency of a new Virtual Reality (VR) training tool for learning aircraft procedures and found participants were more motivated using the VR tool than with the two other methods.

Maintaining balance while performing secondary tasks is essential for daily life. The interplay between motor control and cognitive processes during dual tasks remains equivocal, characterized by mixed findings across studies. This pilot study implements a novel adaptation of the Simon task in virtual reality (VR) to b...

Extended reality (XR), including virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR), is increasingly used for training complex skills. However, the comparative effects of different interaction modalities under controlled conditions remain unclear, particularly regarding learning, task performance, and user experience....

Augmented reality (AR) enables simulating robots in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research, offering a cheaper, more accessible, and flexible alternative to complex, resource-intensive physical setups. However, the comparability of AR and physical HRI results remains unclear. In this paper, we address this question by...
