Participant Flow

Of 21 people consented, 2 individuals failed post start-up screening, and 1 never came in for any assignment. That brings the 21 consented to 18. Participants could consent and enroll in multiple cohorts, reconsenting for each cohort in which they participated. The numbers shown in each arm represent each individual who initially enrolled in that cohort. Some continued on to participate in further tests, but no participant appears in more than one arm in Participant Flow.

Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Cohort A: Outdoor and ODG
This cohort began their participation by testing this iteration of the SmartHMD device. Some participants, as shown below via milestones, also participated in subsequent tests. SmartHMD version 1 assessed with Outdoor Crosswalk Test: Participants used the first version of the SmartHMD device, which used custom software running on commercially available ODG R7 smart glasses and accompanying earbuds. Participants used the device to navigate across an outdoor crosswalk.
Cohort B: Indoor and Laptop
This cohort began their participation by testing this iteration of the SmartHMD device. Some participants, as shown below via milestones, also participated in subsequent tests. SmartHMD version 2 assessed with Indoor Door Location Test: Participants use the second version of the SmartHMD device, which uses RGB-D smart glasses, custom software running on a laptop, and bone-conducting earphones. Participants use the device to locate the door within an indoor course.
Cohort C: RGBD & Jetson - Indoor Course
This cohort began their participation by testing this iteration of the SmartHMD device. Some participants, as shown below via milestones, also participated in subsequent tests. SmartHMD assessed with Indoor Course: Participants use a new iteration of the SmartHMD device, which uses RGB-D smart glasses, bone-conducting earphones, a Jetson mobile computer, and custom software. Participants use the device to navigate their way through an indoor course.
Cohort D: RGBD & Jetson - Outdoor Crosswalk
This cohort began their participation by testing this iteration of the SmartHMD device. SmartHMD assessed with outdoor crosswalk: Participants use the SmartHMD device, which uses RGB-D smart glasses, bone-conducting earphones, a Jetson mobile computer, and a specific version of custom software. Participants use the device to navigate their way through an outdoor crosswalk.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 hours

Population: Participants in this study could participate in multiple tests within the study. The total number in this arm reflects the number of unique participants. The number analyzed within each test reflects the number of participants who participated in that specific test and for whom usable data was collected. Some participants did participate in more than one test.

Percentage of preferred walking speed is a measure of how fast the participant is walking relative to their natural (or preferred) walking speed. Measure preferred walking speed was measured by having them walk with a researcher in an open area. Percentage preferred walking speed was obtained by dividing the measured walking speed during a trial by the preferred walking speed.

Upon real-world application of the study protocol, the outcome measure originally conceived of as "requests for assistance" became pragmatically inseparable from "number of interventions" by study staff. Therefore, the two measures have been combined and are presented here as "number of interventions". The types of assistance requested could not be categorized, as they were not collected.
