Immersive Augmented Reality Training for Complex Manufacturing Scenarios
In the complex manufacturing sector a considerable amount of resources are
focused on developing new skills and training workers. In that context,
increasing the effectiveness of those processes and reducing the investment
required is an outstanding issue. In this paper we present an experiment that
shows how modern Human Computer Interaction (HCI) metaphors such as
collaborative mixed-reality can be used to transmit procedural knowledge and
could eventually replace other forms of face-to-face training. We implement a
real-time Immersive Augmented Reality (IAR) setup with see-through cameras that
allows for collaborative interactions that can simulate conventional forms of
training. The obtained results indicate that people who took the IAR training
achieved the same performance than people in the conventional face-to-face
training condition. These results, their implications for future training and
the use of HCI paradigms in this context are discussed in this paper.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, Video: https://youtu.be/xCbvmGkL6Y
