The Effects of Diminished Reality on the Detection of and Response to Notifications

Many environments contain visual and auditory distractions. Cognitive aids help limit these distractions, support attention, improve task performance. One way this is done by adding information to the environment via Augmented Reality (AR). Attention may also be supported removing distractors using Diminished (DR), a form of AR that computationally erases, de-emphasizes, or otherwise diminishes external stimuli. However, there was no research investigating design control display system for DR technology question how redirect gain someone’s attention when their diminished had not been addressed. This study explored acceptability effectiveness notifications with varying attributes fills gap in research. Results indicated low specificity are rated as being subjectively better than other formats; messages were recalled at greater rate.
