Abstract

Disclosed is a system and method for managing variable operating mode applications that vary a cognitive load of the output of the applications presented to users wearing head mounted display devices. A tolerance level is indicative of the cognitive load of each operating mode of an application is established. In a vehicle setting, the operating mode of the application is selected to enable the safe operation of the vehicle based in part upon the tolerance level associated with the operating mode. If errant operations of vehicles are detected, then an application server modifies the tolerance level and synchronizes the modified tolerance level with head mounted display devices including the application.
