# Augmented Reality Training Manuals ioxp Uses Cognitive AR to Create Instructive Workplace Guides By Alyson Wyers | Published 2017-11-17 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/training-manuals References: [springwise](https://www.springwise.com/cognitive-ar-brings-training-manuals-life/) & [ioxp.de](http://www.ioxp.de/en/) These training manuals for manufacturers are brought to life thanks to this cognitive AR system. From The Germany Research Center for Artificial Intelligence spinoff ioxp, the [cognitive augmented reality system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-worker-platform) is a new use of AR glasses. According to Springwise, the startup "develops training manuals that work with AR glasses to place step-by-step instructions directly into the field of vision of the user." The AI and AR-combining software can quickly and easily learn about any work environment or process, and then teach it to employees. The system uses video and 3D hand-tracking to create instructional illustrations and animations with annotations that act as an educational guide for workers learning work processes. Any AR-equipped device will work with the ioxp system. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Education](https://www.trendhunter.com/education) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cognitive AR Training:** The use of cognitive AR for efficient instructional guides creates room for development in manufacturing and industrial training. - **Video-based Training Modules:** Augmented reality's capability to create step-by-step learning animations with annotations opens up disruptive opportunities in employee training and development. - **Ar-powered Innovations in Workforce Education:** Integrating AR technology into traditional training methods will revolutionize education across various industries, creating opportunities for startups and small businesses alike. ### Where This Applies - **Manufacturing:** Cognitive AR systems can optimize employee training, increasing efficiency and reducing workplace errors for complex manufacturing processes. - **Education and Training:** Traditional employee training modules will be disrupted by AR technology, creating opportunities for education and training providers to integrate this technology into their curriculum. - **Industrial Automation:** Incorporation of AR technology in industrial automation could lead to reduced training times for workers and ultimately minimize errors in areas where safety is a priority. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Eye Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tobii-glasses-x.md) - [AR-Powered Brand Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marcolin-1.md) - [AI-Packed Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayneo-x3-pro.md) - [AI Reading Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/booxtory-20.md) - [Augmented Reality Cleaning Innovation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-check.md) - [Wearable AI Retail Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmodo.md) - [Superhuman Sight AR Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utrack-ar.md) - [Industrial Application AR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rokid-xcraft.md) - [Donut-Making AR Trainings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chewco-mochi-donut.md)
