Hyper-Bonds - Human Skills Oriented Systems Design with Mixed Reality

Abstract A Mixed Reality concept will be introduced to ease the design of automation systems which are human skills oriented. Hyper-Bonds , a unified concept to describe complex effort/flow driven automation systems distributed over real and virtual worlds, allow a selected materialization of parts of the system in reality and have it functional connected to a simulation model. This generalized concept to blend physical systems with their virtual counterparts, being their computer-internal representation or a functional continuation will be presented. The theory is laid down and a first application in learning and working is shown. Consequences for a human skill oriented design are shown.
