User expectations on smart glasses as work assistance in electronics manufacturing

The research project Glass@Service addresses the development of components and services for augmented reality smart glasses as work assistance in electronics manufacturing. In this context the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health planned and implemented an evaluation of these assistance technologies in selected work places: In two use cases - order picking and setup of assembly machines - a survey with a total of 59 employees was conducted in order to analyze variables such as mental strain, usability or user acceptance. In this article the results of the first survey about user expectations towards the usability, usefulness and acceptance are presented.
