Skill capturing and augmented reality for training

AR-based training applications must clearly differ from AR-based guiding applications, as they must really train the user and not only guide the user through the task. AR is a good technology for training, as instructions or location-dependent information can be directly linked and attached to physical objects. Because objects to be maintained usually contain a large number of similar components, the provision of location-dependent information is vitally important for the training. Furthermore, in AR-based training, sessions can be combined with teleconsultation technologies, and the availability of a trainer on-site is not mandatory.
