Using Augmented Reality with Older Adults in the Community to Select Design Features for an Age-Friendly Park: A Pilot Study

Table 1

Gait parameters while walking with augmented reality (AR) glasses with no holograms and with different types of wall. Mean ± standard deviation of the actual values and as percentage increase from the trial without AR glasses between parentheses.
