Abstract
This study investigates the application of augmented reality to enhance rescue efficiency, alleviate workload, and improve decision-making in earthquake rescue. The findings demonstrate that AR-based solutions surpass conventional approaches in task completion duration, map utilisation, and decision-making simplicity, underscoring AR's capacity to improve human factors issues in disaster contexts. Future studies should include professional rescue teams as well as more complex simulations to test AR's effectiveness in real-world emergency situations.
