ABSTRACT
This paper reports an investigation into manual work using a combination of Human Factors (HF) approaches, including task analysis, ethnography and behavior analysis. The work arose from the ManuVAR (CP-IP 211548) ED-funded research project, which aims to support manual work operations through the use of Virtual and Augmented Reality (VRJ AR) technologies. The investigation involved analysis of current manual working practices in the industrial partners' companies. The research aimed to analyze physical, cognitive, organizational/social ergonomics and behavioral aspects of the tasks to realize the scientific foundations of the project.
