Potential vs. Practice: Challenges for the Implementation of Augmented Reality for Learning and Training in Practice

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) holds many potentials for learning and training in organizations. However, there are surprisingly few examples that show an implementation of these potentials in practice. Motivated by this insight and similar observations through discussions with practitioners, we conducted an interview study to explore the usage of AR for learning and training in practice. Our results show that there is little systematic and established use in practice because of several challenges inhibiting its use. Our paper reports on these and discusses how they might be overcome.
