Abstract

We investigated the potential for augmented reality (AR) as a training aid for spatial estimation skills. Though there are many tools to support spatial judgments, from measuring cups to rulers, not much is known about training spatial skills for retention and transfer. Display of AR was manipulated to train the spatial skill of portion estimation. In Experiment 1, an AR-aided strategy of creating smaller portions out of a larger example amount was compared to a no-AR control condition. This manipulation was based on previous non-AR experiments where amorphous foods were better estimated when divided into smaller portions. There was a significant benefit of estimating using a solid AR shape. In Experiment 2, cognitive anchoring was manipulated. Using meaningful AR anchors resulted in the best performance and most learning. We conclude that spatial estimation skills can be combined with mental strategies and trained via AR.

利用增强现实技术训练灵活的空间认知估算策略。

我们研究了增强现实（AR）作为空间估算技能训练辅助工具的潜力。虽然从量杯到尺子，有很多工具可以支持空间判断，但人们对训练空间技能以保持和迁移的了解并不多。我们操纵 AR 的显示来训练估算份量的空间技能。在实验 1 中，使用 AR 辅助策略从较大的示例量中创造出较小的份量与不使用 AR 的对照条件进行了比较。这一操作是基于之前的非 AR 实验，在这些实验中，无定形食物被分成较小份量时，估算效果更好。使用固体 AR 形状进行估算有明显的好处。在实验 2 中，对认知锚定进行了操作。使用有意义的AR锚点可获得最佳表现和最多的学习效果。我们的结论是，空间估算技能可以与心理策略相结合，并通过 AR 进行训练。

期刊介绍： Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives. The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
