Abstract
The selection of suitable display technologies for industrial augmented reality (AR) applications is becoming increasingly relevant as such applications move from the proof-of-concept to the application stage. To support project managers, designers and developers in the critical selection process we have developed a checklist of important aspects and related evaluation hints that helps to speed up and improve the selection process. The checklist presented in this paper was designed to be useful for both researchers and practitioners. It combines pertinent information from relevant standards like ISO 9241-210 with results from current research literature and experience from several AR projects in industrial contexts. It can be applied both in collaboration with AR experts, where it helps to prepare relevant information for the collaboration and thus streamlines the process, or stand-alone, as a guideline for the evaluation of different options by a design team.
