Abstract

This paper presents a virtual training system for machine operation that is addressing the aging workforce. Targeting the needs and capabilities of aging employees is inevitable to address the ongoing demographic change and remain competitive. The proposed system is composed of a virtual representation of a machine and a control panel on a separate tablet computer. The paper describes the didactic approach, the interaction modalities, and how the system can be adapted to the capabilities of its users. A sample scenario describes the application of the concept in a prototype.
