Human oversight due to usage of smartphone prevented by using an AR-H.U.D in a helmet

Abstract

It is difficult to manage a smartphone for useful purposes on the road by a motorcyclist rather than a motorist. A H.U.D or a Head up Display makes it much easier and less hazardous for a motorcyclist to attain proper usage of various on road features provided by a smartphone like navigation, etc. In this paper, a study comparing the usage of a Head up Display unit in a helmet over the smartphone has been conducted. The H.U.D has decreased unnecessary glances and it is conclusive that peripheral vision allows maintaining a better cognizance. Also, the user interface is easy to learn and use and does not require visual attentiveness from the user.
