This lecture gives an overview of Augmented Reality and Wearable Technology and their use in workplace learning. It explains the basic concepts related the relevant pedagogies (learning by doing, experiential learning, tacit and explicit knowledge) and some technological details (state of the art and devices).The lecture introduces experience capturing and experience reenactment both as a training approach and from the technical point of view. The lecture also contains a brief introduction of the WEKIT EU project.

Wearable Computing

19. Wearable Computing –
WEARABILITY
Wearable computing pursues an interface ideal of a
continuously worn, intelligent assistant that augments
memory, intellect, creativity, communication, and physical
senses and abilities*.
Wearability involves the interaction between the body and
the device (not technocentric – but the relationship – how
one influences the other).

Volume 21, Issue 4, DOI: 10.1109/40.946681

20. Why Wearable Computing?
21/06/2016 WEARABLE EXPERIENCE FOR KNOWLEDGE-INTENSIVE TRAINING 20
Better access and management of information
Wearables provide portability during operation
Enable hands free or hands-limited use
Can focus the user’s attention
Can run continuously; and attempt to sense the user’s
current context (Rhodes, 2000)
Focuses the user’s attention and presents information in
an unobtrusive, context-dependent manner (Kortuem et
al.).

33. Technology
What is Wearable Experience?
An experience that is facilitated by devices located on or in
the body that can include:
tracking user activity, biometric and environmental data
matching and mapping user performance
augmenting user’s activity with another user’s data
adapting user’s activity and behavior

34. Methodology
What is Wearable Experience?
21/06/2016 WEARABLE EXPERIENCE FOR KNOWLEDGE-INTENSIVE TRAINING 34
The Wearable Experience training methodology aims to provide an
innovative learning method that is based on the idea of capturing the
experience of an expert and enabling trainees to wear it while re-
enacting, thus giving the trainee access to the tacit knowledge of the
expert.
