Summary of Responses from Participants
Items | Questionnaire | Results |
---|---|---|
Video streaming capability for understanding the overall situation | Q1, Q2 | Streaming quality was average. An unresponsive screen and unstable network restricted seamless cooperation. |
Image stabilization function to stabilize wearers’ movements | Q3, Q4, Q6 | The motion blur annoyed some remote supporters. The degree of bother seemed to vary by person. |
Monitoring the performance of the wearer | Q3, Q4 | Encountered problems due to mirror mode, limited FOV, and insufficient information. |
Mirror mode | Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 | Confusing; the half-sized screen did not provide sufficient information to assess wearers’ performance. Misunderstanding of body region could result in incorrect instructions and increase the risk for medical errors. |
Screen resolution | Q7 | Fairly good most of the time. The received video quality was poor sometimes depending on the network quality. |
Audio communication | Q8 | At times, it was not clear whether the voice instructions were delivered. Desire to have communication protocols to prevent unnecessary and redundant voice transmission. |
