The approach draws from gamification principles—enhancing engagement, feedback, and situational awareness—to support operator decision-making and ergonomics. A field test was conducted in Ilomantsi, Finland, employing a John Deere 1170G harvester equipped with an external LiDAR scanner and an in-cabin holographic HUD. Real-time tree detection and diameter estimation were achieved through LiDAR data processing with a YOLO-based convolutional neural network. The system successfully projected tree positions and estimated diameters onto the HUD during the felling of 60 trees. Operator workload, assessed using the NASA-TLX method, indicated low cognitive strain and positive usability feedback. The results demonstrate the feasibility of real-time holographic visualization in dynamic forest environments but highlight calibration and information flow challenges. Further improvements are needed in system setup, eye-position alignment, and data visualization to optimize ergonomic benefits and decision support in mechanized harvesting operations.
