Abstract

Building fire safety equipment (BFSE) management is increasingly complex and time-consuming. The objective of this paper is to develop augmented reality (AR)-enabled systems for BFSE based on cognitive ergonomics theory and explore the impacts of AR interaction modes on enhancing inspection performance. An experiment was conducted with 48 participants divided into three groups: control group with no AR assistance, visual-based AR group, and audiovisual-based AR group. Results indicate that the developed AR applications improve work efficiency, with the audiovisual-based system achieving the best task performance in BFSE inspections. The developed AR applications reduced cognitive load during inspections, although participants using the audiovisual-based AR system reported higher cognitive load regarding time pressure compared to the visual-based group. The findings contribute to developing efficient, user-friendly BFSE systems and understanding AR interaction modes, further validating the role of audiovisual-based AR interactions in improving facility management efficiency as well as building inspection and maintenance.

建筑消防安全设备（BFSE）管理日益复杂和耗时。本文旨在基于认知工效学理论，为 BFSE 开发支持增强现实（AR）的系统，并探索 AR 交互模式对提高检查性能的影响。实验将 48 名参与者分为三组：无 AR 辅助的对照组、基于视觉的 AR 组和基于视听的 AR 组。结果表明，所开发的 AR 应用程序提高了工作效率，其中基于视听的系统在 BFSE 检查中取得了最佳任务绩效。所开发的 AR 应用程序降低了检查过程中的认知负荷，尽管与基于视觉的组相比，使用基于视听的 AR 系统的参与者在时间压力方面的认知负荷更高。研究结果有助于开发高效、用户友好的 BFSE 系统和了解 AR 交互模式，进一步验证了基于视听的 AR 交互在提高设施管理效率以及建筑检测和维护方面的作用。
