Using Google Glass for mobile maintenance and calibration tasks in the AUDI A8 production line

The integration of new technologies in existing work tasks requires the integration of the users in all steps of the development process. In this work the human-centred design process according to the ISO 9241-210 is applied to fulfil the necessary participation of users. The Head Worn Display Glass of Google Inc. prototypically is used to improve the periodical calibration of the driver assistance system testing bay of the AUDI A8 production line. Therefore the users where observed and interviewed during the performance of the calibration and furthermore highly integrated in the iterative design process of the user interface, the human computer interaction and the program flow. At the end a final prototype could be tested.
