Knowledge Internalization using Virtual Training on the HoloLens

With the growing complexity of processes in factories, expert knowledge is considered a very valuable asset to have. Expert knowledge is, however, difficult to obtain and to teach. This process requires time, practice and experience from experts, who have obtained it throughout the years. Fortunately, with the rapid technological advancements, many options can help assist with this problem. One of the prominent technologies that companies have been implementing is augmented reality. Since the use of augmented reality as a learning tool is still new, there are many questions about its plausibility and effectiveness. This paper aims to assist in the task of knowledge internalization using augmented reality. This paper proposes a methodology to extract knowledge through the use of questionnaires and pFMEA, as well as its further implementation into the HoloLens. Tests were performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.
