We evaluated the effects of a mixed reality (MR) head-mounted deviceon some cognitiveand physiological functions during 90 min tasks in an attempt to determine their safety for workers. A total of 12 volunteers performed 90-min intellectual and manual tasks with and without MR glasses. Balance, Stro...
