Switching between augmented reality and a manual-visual task: a preliminary study

In this project we designed an Augmented Reality working space for drivers in a semi-automated vehicle, and evaluated users visual behavior in this space specifically during switching from the AR non-driving task to a Manual-Visual task. The results of this preliminary study show that users do not switch between the two provided tasks immediately after they are asked to. One possible explanation for this gradual transition is the timing of the interruption during the sub task. These results also provide a potential path for how to proceed with the study.
