The ability of Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) to induce any training scenario in a safe and scalable manner makes it a particularly interesting technology for virtual learning factories. However, both an opportunity and a challenge is to empirically test and optimise virtual environments....

Wearable technologies, such as smart glasses allowing assisted or augmented reality (AR) applications, promise to substantially amplify human capabilities in a variety of industrial work contexts. Despite their potential, there is a woeful lack of experimental research that has examined the true...
