Abstract :

This research presents the first field-tested application of interactive mixed reality live streaming technology in a manufacturing setting and elaborates on its implications for practitioners and scholars. A proof-of-concept of a mixed reality live streaming device that uses 360° video calls for remote presence is developed and applied in a field test during a tool changeover at a Stanley Black & Decker factory. This study documents that interactive mixed reality live streaming for shop-floor environments has passed Technology Readiness Level 6, representing a radical new way of organizing remote shop-floor tours, inspections, audits, and training.
