Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Technical validation of the headset in microgravity	The participant had to report to the invistigators whether the headset functioned under microgravity. Images superimposed on the real environment had to be correctly placed and stable in zero-G	1 day
Primary	Usability test HARUS / Form	The HARUS (Handheld Augmented Reality Usability Scale) is a questionnaire measuring manipulability -- the ease of handling the HAR system, and comprehensibility -- the ease of understanding the information presented by augmented reality.	1 day
Primary	NASA-TLX cognitive test	The NASA TLX is a subjective, multidimensional assessment tool that rates perceived workload in order to assess a task, system, or team's effectiveness or other aspects of performance (task loading)	1 day
