Abstract
Due to the development of both computational power of mobile devices and display technology mixed reality solutions have become possible. As the entertainment industry has taken the technology eagerly in use, it has also opened several possibilities to develop solutions to enhance and support work processes in industrial and maritime use. In this paper user-testing of a few of these prototypes of mixed reality solutions is presented.
