Literature Review: AR Applications for Improved Route Navigation

This literature review investigates the application of augmented reality (AR) in enhancing route planning and navigational accuracy, drawing from five journal papers. The review covers various techniques, algorithms, and tools such as AR interfaces and head-up displays, addressing challenges related to user experience, particularly for older adults, and optimizing visual attention for drivers. Key areas explored include the impact of AR on task completion time, navigation efficiency, and the development of spatial knowledge. The studies analyze the benefits and limitations of AR-based navigation systems, including issues related to data connectivity, distraction, and computational demands, while also evaluating the effectiveness of different AR implementations through metrics like accuracy, visual attention, and time processing. The ultimate goal is to improve navigation systems and make them more user-friendly and accurate.
