Our paper, “Ready Expert One: Universal 3D Workbench for Remote Industrial Training”, was presented at the Proceedings of the 2025 ACM International Conference on Interactive Media Experiences.
Abstract
The lack of skilled workforce also creates new challenges specifically for training and (re)certification of the needed professionals. Extended Reality (XR) technology has emerged as a promising way to improve and enhance education and training. However, with the complexity of technical tasks in manufacturing and other industries, it is not always clear how XR can help in different professional trainings. Therefore, we present our prototype “Ready Learner One” as a means to support both the teaching and quality evaluations of complex technical tasks in a generic way. Our approach utilized 3D stereoscopic capture of the student’s and teacher’s work surface and presents a fused (blended) view in an Augmented Reality headset (hololens 2) for remote interaction. We utilize a Lego block building task as an example to illustrate our approach. Finally, our prototype will be demonstrated at the ACM IMX 2025 conference as a remote connection between Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and The Hague (Netherlands).
