To establish a standardized methodology for evaluating the usability of virtual reality headsets in industrial settings.
Large-scale comparative study involving five different headsets and 60 participants.
Evaluation based on 15 tasks measuring object manipulation, interaction fidelity, visual clarity, ergonomics, and comfort.
Combination of quantitative performance metrics and subjective user feedback with statistical analysis.
Performance disparities observed, with certain headsets excelling in precision for assembly tasks.
Some devices provided better comfort and visual quality for inspection and extended use.
No universally superior headset; optimal choice varies by task.

Cirelli et al. (2026) studied this question.
