Join us for this engaging webinar, “Adaptive AR Guidance and Bichronous XR for Next-Gen Training” hosted by AREA (Augmented Reality for Enterprise Alliance), an EDM Association Community, on February 11th, 2026.
Presenters Bowen Yuan and Hyunwoo Cho, (PhD candidates) and Mark Billinghurst (Director, Australian Research Centre for Interactive and Virtual Environments (IVE)) will showcase a unified research program on next-generation Augmented Reality (AR) task guidance, focusing on adaptive instruction, spatial task segmentation, and hierarchical non-linear workflows. Built on three core systems—focus-aware AR playback, location-based task segmentation, and a dependency-aware guidance framework—the talk shows how AR can sense user attention, interpret task context, and dynamically adapt instructions. Empirical results from controlled studies reveal how gaze and location cues reduce errors, speed attention recovery, and improve review efficiency in multi-location tasks, pointing to scalable, intelligent AR training for real-world environments.
The session also introduces the Bichronous XR Collaboration Framework, which combines asynchronous task review with synchronous real-time correction. Using 3D Action Cues—event-driven spatio-temporal bookmarks—remote experts can quickly spot errors in recorded actions and move into live sessions for targeted support. Study results show this approach cuts task time and cognitive load compared to traditional 2D video.
Attendees will learn:
- How gaze and location tracking enable adaptive AR task guidance
- How spatial behavior supports non-linear playback and faster retrieval
- How dependency-aware workflow models support complex procedures
- Design principles for deploying adaptive AR in industrial training
- How bichronous workflows and 3D Action Cues improve remote assistance
