Visual comfort in a hedonic mobile multitasking context

The research problem of interest to EssilorLuxottica and to be addressed in this Mitacs Accelerate project with two M.Sc interns is the user experience of people who wear glasses in dynamic mobile contexts. Its significance for Canadians who wear glasses is due to the reality that smartphones have become an essential tool for interacting with service providers in the entertainment, relaxation and tourism sectors. The objectives are as follows: to better understand the challenges of these users in a natural context of dynamic vision, and identify the most and least comfortable moments as well as user behavior during these moments. The proposed methodology is to measure neurophysiological data with high temporal precision first in a controlled lab environment at Tech3Lab, HEC Montréal, and then in a semi-controlled experiment at an interactive Augmented reality exhibit at the Insectarium in Montreal, using an application developed by EssilorLuxottica for iPhone and mobile UX measurement tools from Tech3Lab
