Abstract Multi-cue user interfaces (MCUIs) are a typical set of graphical user interfaces that are commonly used in augmented reality because of its simultaneous encoding of multiple visual cues into interaction tasks. Previous investigations have proven the advantageous impacts of MCUIs on usability for one-time tasks. With the increasing prevalence of MCUIs in industrial environments, it is imperative to investigate the influence of MCUIs on users’ cognitive load for repetitive tasks. We replicated the repetitive processes of sorting parcels in modern warehouses and conducted a series of empirical investigations to assess the influence of MCUIs on cognitive load and perceived usability. The results showed the effectiveness of MCUIs in reducing cognitive load and physical fatigue and revealed the correlations between the participants’ task efficiency and the quantity of visual cues. In addition, the study unveiled the positive impact of MCUIs on the overall perceived usability, although the specific aspects -ease of use and overall satisfaction- are not affected.
