While the initial promise of Glass was never fully realized, the new application of the tech has been gaining traction in the workplace. Augmented reality (AR) has found new life in employee training programs thanks to its ability to provide a hands-on learning experience. The construction industry, in particular, has seized AR-enabled training with vigor. Food service has also begun to investigate AR training for their own purposes.
In addition to training new employees, Glass can be used to monitor workers and provide support as they learn new skills. With improvements such as faster and more reliable WiFi, extended battery life and better camera systems, employers may soon find even more applications for Glass in the workplace.
