Trends and perspectives in augmented reality training

Training in the real environment is not easy, mainly due to socio-technological barriers. This chapter explores the potential effectiveness of augmented reality (AR) applied to training. We discuss previous applications of AR in live-training and findings arising from formative evaluations of these systems. Various approaches for applying AR to training are discussed. Overviews of the most characteristic evaluation methods as well as suggestions on assessing the performance of AR in training are provided.
