XR Training & Maintenance
Guided Step by Step
AR / MR Guided training & Maintenance
Be it to guide employees in learning how to operate a new machine or task, or to assist technicians in performing complicated maintenance tasks, AR/MR training shows them what to do by displaying spatially positioned virtual indications overlaid on top of a real machine (or scene) or a virtual 3D model the machine (or scene).
These indications usually combine elements such as virtual 3D arrows and/or virtual tools, videos or text instructions that are directly projected onto the real or virtual machine or environment.
The user simply follows the step by step guidance module to complete the process required for the training or the maintenance. If required, the execution speed of each step can be measured to
provide feedback to the user on which step he/she can enhance, or to the process author expert as to which of his/her instructions can be enhanced for most efficient understanding.
How does it work?
The expert/ trainer or your consultant uses a dedicated software to author the training or maintenance cycle. Best is to thoroughly think through the steps of the process and the content that is best adapted to convey the instructions message in the simplest possible way. Once the script of the processes is done, the expert/trainer/consultant loads and completes the missing content on the database.
Finally, with the help of smart-glasses or a smartphone/tablet the content is placed in space virtually overlaid on top of the machine in the way it should be perceived by the trainee or maintenance technician. Best is to test the process a few times and constantly enhance based on user feedback.
Now that the training or maintenance module is ready, it can be used by the trainee or maintenance technician who will wear his smart-glasses to follow each of the steps in the most efficient way.
