Augmented Reality Head-Mounted Displays (AR-HMDs) have proven effective to assist workers. However, they may degrade their Safety and Situational Awareness (SSA), particularly in complex and hazardous industrial settings. This paper analyzes, objectively and subjectively, the effects of AR-HMDs’ on workers’ SSA in a simulated hazardous industrial environment.
