User-specific augmentation of a real word field of view viewable through an augmented reality (AR) device is facilitated by a processor(s) receiving image data representative of a real world field of view viewable by a user through the AR device, and receiving sensor data indicative of the user's stress level, which is related, at least in part, to the user's real world field of view viewable through the AR device. The processor(s) processes the image data, based on the user's stress level, to identify one or more stress-inducing elements to be hidden in the real world field of view viewable through the AR device. Further, the processor(s) provides an augmented real world field of view for display to the user through the AR device, where the one or more stress-inducing elements are hidden from the user in the augmented real world field of view.

Augmented reality field of view based on sensed user data

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for providing a personalized anxiety-reducing navigation system for a user utilizing augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) is provided. The present invention may include detecting a current location of the user. The present invention may then include, in response to detecting the current location of the user is beyond a comfort boundary threshold, determining a stress state of the user. The present invention may also activate an AR system. The present invention may further, in response to determining the determined stress state of the user is high, activate a VR system.
