Certain shortcomings of the prior art are overcome and additional advantages are provided through the provision, in one or more aspects, of a computer-implemented method, which includes receiving, by one or more processors, image data representative of a real world field of view viewable by a user through an augmented reality (AR) device, and receiving, by the one or more processors, sensor data indicative of a stress level of the user, where the user's stress level is related, at least in part, to the real world field of view viewable by the user through the AR device. Based on the user's stress level, the one or more processors process the image data to identify one or more stress-inducing elements for the user to be hidden in the real world field of view viewable through the AR device. The one or more processors further provide 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 viewable by the user through the AR device.

Systems and computer program products relating to one or more aspects are also described and claimed herein. Further, services relating to one or more aspects are also described and can be claimed herein.

Additional features and advantages are realized through the techniques described herein. Other embodiments and aspects of the invention are described in detail herein and are considered a part of the claimed aspects.
