Abstract

Server maintenance operations require vast knowledge about the functionalities of various devices and their troubleshooting procedures. Workers often have to deal with complex paper manuals. This work-in-progress paper evaluates the effectiveness of a system to bring the onsite human supervisor experience, using an AR-based avatar with pointing gestures and voice instructions to guide the technician. 11 participants were asked to perform the set of instructions both in manual and avatar-based guided settings. A statistical analysis of raw NASA-TLX supports that the avatar-based guided maintenance system reduces the mental workload when compared to the manual-based maintenance procedures.
