Are you familiar with the term "augmented interpreter"?  *
If yes, please explain what an augmented interpreter is.  *
Augmented reality (AR) technology allows information to be displayed wherever convenient. Instead of having to look down at a tablet or a laptop, interpreters can see the term or number projected directly into their field of vision, allowing them to maintain their focus on the speaker and the audio input. While this sounds very helpful, recent test findings (Gieshoff et al. 2024) showed practical limitations to AR use, including a lack of comfort in wearing the AR equipment, a lack of ergonomic and intuitive interaction with virtual objects, and distraction and interference with the interpreting process in the form of additional visual input. Do you think you would experience the same practical limitations? *
Which is, in your opinion, the worst of the practical limitations to AR use?  *

Are you concerned about the future of interpreting as a profession? *
