Vuforia® Expert Capture Technology and Microsoft’s HoloLens glasses were used to create a virtual guide hosted in the cloud and then accessed by engineers in a number of factories across the UK
Industry has been searching for some time for an answer to an ageing workforce and the worrying scenario of traditional engineering skills being potentially lost forever.
AR can be used to record skills as engineers are performing them, saving them in the Cloud for generations to come – almost like a virtual technical library.
Importantly, these instructions can be delivered at the point of use, which has been proven to speed up learning.

Virtual Reality (VR) training tools are here to help, ensuring that healthcare professionals can be trained remotely, immersively, and more thoroughly than traditional methods for both front-line medicine and in specialist procedures.
use of wearable contact tracing sensors or VR training tools in the education sector and in an high-pressure medical context
Their VR platform uses personalized prediction software and “gamification and varied content formats to engage users and embed knowledge”, and has been used to “deliver typically labor-intensive training quickly and at scale”
“VR enables medics to immerse themselves in these infrequent scenarios, and can reduce skill fade by 52% and improve learning retention rates by up to 75% (compared to 10% for traditional methods),”
Simulated virtual learning can also ease the psychological burden of notoriously intensive medical training and place more emphasis on wellbeing.

XR TEACHING OPPORTUNITY @uclaextension is starting a certificate program in #XR. It is entirely remote. If you or someone you know is interested in teaching XR business, design, 3D asset creation (Blender, Maya, etc.), virtual production and game engines DM me for contact. pic.twitter.com/qHoEtyFwr3

Virtually a Reality: The Future of Neonatology Simulation-based Education with Dr. Ryan M. McAdams https://t.co/unwqqNQYRc

<Palermos, S. O. (2017). Augmented Skepticism: The Epistemological Design of Augmented Reality. https://www.academia.edu/28594152/Augmented_Skepticism_The_Epistemological_Design_of_Augmented_Reality
epistemology should play an active role in the design of future AR systems and practices.
its users may also be exposed to the serious danger of being unable to tell reality and augmented reality apart.
Most modern augmented reality systems combine the input from hardware
components such as digital cameras, accelerometers, global positioning systems (GPS),
gyroscopes, solid state compasses, and wireless sensors with simultaneous localization and
mapping (SLAM) software
The above examples make it obvious that AR has the potential to permeate and
enrich our everyday lives in a variety of ways. As AR technologies become less intrusive and
more transparent, moving from hand held devices, to AR glasses and finally to contact lenses,
AR will possibly not only penetrate every aspect of our lives but will become a constant,
additional layer to physical reality that users will be practically unable to disengage from.
Short films Sight (https://vimeo.com/46304267) and Hyper-Reality
(https://vimeo.com/166807261) provide good tasters of how the augmented future might
soon look like.
Contrary to other forms of extended
cognitive systems, AR is specifically designed to generate and operate on the basis of unreal
yet deceivingly truth-like mimicries of the external world in a way that users won’t be able to
distinguish augmented images from actual images of the world.
AR therefore has the potential to both extend and distract our organismic epistemic
capacities.
AR developers would have to make sure that all augmentations bear features that would allow them to clearly and immediately stand out from the physical elements in the world without the need of unrealistically burdensome checks on the part of the users. The design of future AR systems should not pose unrealistic demands on the users’ cognitively integrated nature. Reality augmentations should automatically stand out as such, leaving minimal room for confusion or misinterpretation.
