How will augmented reality impact job training?

AR allows a combination of virtual and real-world information and training materials to be available on-demand anywhere, anytime. A trainee can be guided in real time, with feedback and information provided as needed. Sensors on the AR device (e.g. cameras) can provide a link back to a trainer or other monitor. The system may be able to track and understand actions taken for either in-the-moment or after-action review.
