A wearable learning and support system for manufacture application

Abstract

Wearable computers and other handheld devices are now used beyond the research lab, in diverse applications, and this trend toward ubiquitous computing is accelerating. One challenge that remains in this emerging research field is the ability to build reliable industrial information management and training system for the mobile knowledge workers in the manufacture application. A Wearable Learning and Support System which has been designed as tools to support learning, training and operation of maintenance activity in industrial settings is presented. With the context information service, resources information process, and adaptive strategies, this system can suit for the requirements of operation assistant, learning, training and information management processes on the job. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
