Abstract
Pervasive Augmented Reality (AR) has been explored to provide experiences that are continuous in space and time, while incorporating layers of contextual information. While most research efforts have been devoted to explore serious games, museums and smart environments, we argue that another interesting area of application is assistive production, in particular training novel workers by displaying instructions throughout the shop floor on what to do. This work describes a user study with 12 participants, aimed at comparing the use of three distinct conditions: C1 - Head-Mounted Display (HMD), C2 - Handheld Device (HHD) and C3 - Paper manual during a set of realistic training tasks, selected based on a collaboration with partners from the industry sector. Results suggest condition C1 was preferred by the majority of participants, being considered more useful to support the worker’s task as it is seems more efficient, hands-free and has a better tracking technology.
