More particularly, embodiments of the present invention include a computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product, where program code executing on one or more processors receives image data representative of a real world field of view viewable by a user through an augmented reality (AR) device, and receives sensor data indicative of a current 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. Embodiments of the present invention also include program code executing on one or more processors which processes, based on the user's stress level, 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 by the user through the AR device. Further, embodiments of the present invention include program code executing on one or more processors that provides 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 through the AR device.

In certain embodiments of the present invention, providing the augmented real world field of view for display to the user through the AR device includes selectively hiding, by the one or more processors, only the identified one or more stress-inducing elements in the augmented real world field of view for display to the user through the AR device.
