“…In situations where attentional resources are limited, Diminished Reality (DR) can be used as a cognitive aid to support attention. DR is similar to AR but rather than adding to the environment, it de-emphasizes visual and auditory elements of the environment (Kim, Lee, Lee, & Park, 2018). While AR has been used to add relevant information to the environment, DR can be useful for those who need distractions minimized during training.…”

Within distracting environments, it is difficult to maintain attentional focus on complex tasks. Cognitive aids can support attention by adding relevant information to the environment, such as via augmented reality (AR). However, there may be a benefit in removing elements from the environment, such as irrelevant alarms, displays, and conversations. De-emphasis of distracting elements is a type of AR called Diminished Reality (DR). Although de-emphasizing distraction may help focus on a primary task, it may also reduce situational awareness (SA) of other activities that may become relevant. In the current study, participants will assemble a medical ventilator during a simulated emergency while experiencing varying levels of DR. Participants will also be probed to assess secondary SA. We anticipate that participants will have better accuracy and completion times in the full DR conditions but their SA will suffer. Future applications include the design of future DR systems and improved training methods.
