AUGMENTED REALITY DEFINITION

“Augmented Reality refers to enhancing

human perception with additional, artificially

generated sensory input to create a new

experience including, but not restricted to,

enhancing human vision by combining

natural with digital offers.”

(Wild et al., 2016, ARLEM spec)

Grand Challenges

in PA

GRAND CHALLENGES for PA in I4.0

1) COMPLEXITY: The workforce needs to understand the underlying processes, their

dependencies, and develop the know-how needed for collecting and utilising data and

leveraging digitisation in the intelligent production of smart products with flexible lot sizes.

2) INTELLIGENT ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS: Standardise, develop, and deploy intelligent

assistance systems for live guidance, training by experience, and performance assessment

from observation need to follow the changes towards Industry 4.0 with regard to processes

with increased degrees of digitisation.

3) FUTURE PROOFING: Tasks needed in the Industry 4.0 context are more interdisciplinary,

combining, for example, elements of mechatronics with design, computer science including

data analytics, and business administration. The challenge is to revise existing job profiles,

build development and appraisal procedures for the existing workforce, and predict which new

skills need to be developed in addition to be future proof.

4) WORK LIFE IMPACT: The challenge is to operationalise how socio-technical approaches can

be designed to allow PAN and other networks to engage in grounded participatory design of an

interdisciplinary workplace, re-organising lifelong learning in ways that positively impact on the

work life balance.

BEWARE: THE END IS NEAR.
