Using Augmented Reality in the Corporate Environment: A Proposed Study Protocol

AR provides opportunities to not only acquire information, but to experience it through visual, spatial, and sensorimotor feedback. Though this technology has been around for years and is professionally recognized as an effective tool to improve and enhance the learning experience, its benefits have gone widely unknown and underappreciated in the field of training and development. In order to maintain an advantage in a global economy, companies are always looking for more engaging and motivating training experiences for employees. As it becomes more accessible and popular, companies are enticed by the potentialities of Augmented Reality. The combination of print materials and augmented reality in education is becoming increasingly manageable due to advances in mobile technologies. This paper presents a proposed study protocol on an Augmented Reality training to deliver just-in-time training in the corporate environment using a marker-based system to enhance training in the context of the Human Capital Management industry.
