Maintenance Activities with Wearable Computers as Training and Performance Aids
نویسنده
چکیده
Engineers refer to technical manuals when performing maintenance on complex mechanical equipment, often located in difficult environments. Wearable computers provide their users access to information at any time or place. It is hypothesised that accessing technical manuals on a wearable computer would allow maintenance engineers to perform their tasks faster and more accurately. A planned case study involving Mechanical Engineering students is described in this paper, including the expected outcomes and their possible implications.
