Research Centre presentation: WEKIT

Dr. Fridolin Wild (Senior Research Fellow and Scientific Director of WEKIT) spoke about Wearables Enhanced Knowledge Intensive Training (WEKIT). Augmented reality and wearables are potential game changers, re-inventing the way we perceive and work with information. In the publicly-funded WEKIT project (Horizon 2020), we explore experience capturing with AR and wearables to support on the one hand observation of a master performing problem-solving tasks and, on the other, to deliver augmented real-time guidance to trainees. In this Research Centre talk, Fridolin introduced the department to the project and outlined the future R&D timeline, and paved the way for further collaboration on AR and wearables within the department.
