Abstract
This paper presents several experiments carried out by the AmILAB research group of Tekniker in the framework of the WearIT@work project (EC IP 004216) on the use of wearable technology base solutions for the training process of workers in a manufacturing environment. The description includes both the initial work at the SKODA production facilities in Czech Republic and the experiments with local workers at Tekniker. As an introduction, the authors of this paper shortly describe current training processes at Skoda, and derive the potential benefits and risks of applying wearable computing technology.
