Not exact matches

Different parts of the brain process different sensory inputs; adding visual info through AR risks overload the visual processing (the tendency will be to filter out one or the other input, so umpires will eventually use only the AR overlay and ignore what they're actually seeing, or use only what they're seeing and ignore the AR overlay), while adding haptic input calls on a different part of the brain to process the information in conjunction with the visual input.
