Augmented reality (AR) systems are becoming common tools in industrial workplaces. However, factory workers are still concerned about whether head-mounted display (HMD)-based AR systems distract their awareness of the environment and therefore pose safety risks. The purpose of this study was to assess users' experience of real-world awareness when using an AR system. 19 study participants played a wooden block logic game in a laboratory with three different setups: real, AR and virtual reality (VR). Based on this study, it can be concluded that HMD-based AR systems do not decrease users' awareness of their surroundings if the virtual content is minimal and the task is done while seated. However, it was seen that more research in this area with more interactive virtual content is required. This study is an important step in understanding how AR may affect future work in industrial and safety-critical environments.

使用增强现实头戴式显示器时对现实环境的意识。

增强现实（AR）系统正在成为工业工作场所中的常用工具。但是，工厂工人仍然担心基于头戴式显示器（HMD）的增强现实系统是否分散了他们对环境的意识，因此构成了安全隐患。这项研究的目的是评估用户使用AR系统时的真实世界体验。19名研究参与者在实验室中用三种不同的设置玩了一个木制积木逻辑游戏：真实，AR和虚拟现实（VR）。根据这项研究，可以得出结论，如果虚拟内容最少且坐着完成任务，则基于HMD的AR系统不会降低用户对其周围环境的意识。但是，可以看出，需要在此领域中进行更多具有更多交互式虚拟内容的研究。
