“…However, this requires the use of real machinery, which can limit the number of training participants, disturb daily business processes and result in inefficiencies (Lai 2019). These issues can be addressed by immersive VR (Jose et al 2015). Virtual reality training allows users to repeat training scenarios multiple times to help retain their gained knowledge and increase their capacities (Mostafa et al 2017).…”

Nowadays, digitalization has an immense impact on the landscape of jobs. This technological revolution creates new industries and professions, promises greater efficiency and improves the quality of working life. However, emerging technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are reducing human intervention, thus advancing automation and eliminating thousands of jobs and whole occupational images. To prepare employees for the changing demands of work, adequate and timely training of the workforce and real-time support of workers in new positions is necessary. Therefore, it is investigated whether user-oriented technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) can be applied “on-the-job” for such training and support—also known as intelligence augmentation (IA). To address this problem, this work synthesizes results of a systematic literature review as well as a practically oriented search on augmented reality and virtual reality use cases within the IA context. A total of 150 papers and use cases are analyzed to identify suitable areas of application in which it is possible to enhance employees' capabilities. The results of both, theoretical and practical work, show that VR is primarily used to train employees without prior knowledge, whereas AR is used to expand the scope of competence of individuals in their field of expertise while on the job. Based on these results, a framework is derived which provides practitioners with guidelines as to how AR or VR can support workers at their job so that they can keep up with anticipated skill demands. Furthermore, it shows for which application areas AR or VR can provide workers with sufficient training to learn new job tasks. By that, this research provides practical recommendations in order to accompany the imminent distortions caused by AI and similar technologies and to alleviate associated negative effects on the German labor market.

“…So, the virtual simulators may have a significant impact on manufacturing industries by supporting human manual operations that might be needed in customized environments (Tang et al, 2003). Haptics-based virtual reality training workshops have proven to be a practical and scalable solution to address the existing challenges in computerized vocational education and training (Jose et al, 2014;Jose et al, 2016). As the quality of education is not consistent and access to education is still an issue, simulator-based training can help students learn hands-on skills.…”

Purpose Offering unskilled people training in engineering and vocational skills helps to decrease unemployment rate. The purpose of this paper is to augment actual hands-on conventional vocational training methods with virtual haptic simulations as part of computer-based vocational education and training. Design/methodology/approach This paper discusses the design of a bi-manual virtual multi-modal training interface for learning basic skills in surface mount device hand soldering. This research aims to analyze human hand dexterity of novices and experts at micro level skill knowledge capture by simulating and tracking the users’ actions in the manual soldering process through a multi-modal user interface. Findings Haptic feedback can enhance the experience of a virtual training environment for the end user and can provide a supplementary modality for imparting tangible principles to increase effectiveness. This will improve the teaching and learning of engineering and vocational skills with touch-based haptics technology, targeted toward teachers and students of various disciplines in engineering. Compared with the traditional training methods for learning soldering skills, the proposed method shows more efficiency in faster skill acquisition and skill learning. Originality/value In this study, the authors proposed a novel bi-manual virtual training simulator model for teaching soldering skills for surface mount technology and inspection. This research aims to investigate the acquisition of soldering skills through virtual environment, with and without haptic feedback. This acts as a basic-level training simulator that provides introductory training in soldering skills and can help initially unskilled people find educational opportunities and job offers in the electronics industry.

Training simulators are fundamental for training in areas, such as aviation, medicine, and the military. While new applications emerge in conjunction with the development of human–machine interface (HMI) technologies, only a few applications for manufacturing processes are used in industrial practice. This study provides a literature review on simulation‐based training in manufacturing processes and applies the definitions of DIN 8580:2003 to structure the research. The identified applications are further analysed regarding their HMI design and the process‐related benefits and limitations that were described within the publications. Although 202 applications were found, most focus on a small number of processes, and the others rarely mature past the prototype stage. The distribution implies that certain process‐specific factors impact the applicability of simulation‐based training in manufacturing processes. In this context, applicability factors are defined as characteristics of the original training process that affect the training adversely and that can be avoided or reduced in a training simulation. A systematisation of these applicability factors is developed as a step towards a process analysis methodology.
