A replication study testing the validity of AR simulation in VR for controlled experiments

Abstract
It is extremely challenging to run controlled studies comparing multiple augmented reality (AR) systems. We use an ldquoAR simulationrdquo 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.
