Abstract

This report discusses the findings of a study on data visualization in Augmented Reality (AR).Using frameworks as: The User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) and NASA-TLX the studyexplores their relationship with Task Performance metrics such as: Time on Task, Task Suc-cess Rate, and Task Duration. Furthermore, the interplay between the frameworks and taskperformance is examined by physiological measures like: Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) and Elec-trodermal Activity (EDA). Collectively, these metrics have been used to estimate a value ofcognitive load. Developing a dynamic and full AR integrated data visualization application(n = 29) and comparing it to a static and limited AR version (n = 29) provided insights intohow user experience and extraneous cognitive load are influenced by the AR medium. Thisstudy provides statistically significant findings that user experience in data visualization ispositively enhanced, and that extraneous cognitive load is increased, when comparing a fullAR integrated data visualization application to a limited one.
