It is extremely challenging to run controlled studies comparing multiple Augmented Reality (AR) systems. We use an “AR simulation” approach, in which a Virtual Reality (VR) system is used to simulate multiple AR systems. In order to validate this approach, we carefully replicated a well-known study by Ellis et al. using our simulator, obtaining comparable results.
