An automotive augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD) can provide an immersive experience for users and is anticipated to become one of the ultimate terminals for human–machine interaction in future intelligent vehicles within the context of smart cities. However, the majority of the current research on AR-HUD is focused on technological implementation and interaction interface design, and there are relatively few studies that examine the psychological factors that may influence the public’s willingness to utilize this technology. Based on the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), this study constructs a model of users’ willingness to use automotive AR-HUD involving both cognitive and social factors. The study recruited 377 participants and collected data on users’ effort expectation, performance expectation, social influence, perceived trust, personal innovation, and AR-HUD usage intention through a questionnaire. It was found that users’ effort expectation influenced their intention to use AR-HUD through the mediating role of performance expectation. Social influence had an impact on users’ AR-HUD usage intention through the mediating role of perceived trust, and personal innovation moderated the strength of the role of social influence on perceived trust as a moderating variable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
