Abstract

Head-mounted tablets (HMTs), a type of augmented reality (AR) wearable device that is worn on the head like glasses, have gained vast attention in the manufacturing industry as they enable workers to receive hands-free support. For emerging technologies, it could be useful to predict their acceptance among potential users. Hence, various researchers have utilized the technology acceptance model (TAM) to forecast such acceptance, in the past decade also including HMTs and other AR smart glasses. In this research, an exploratory model is developed to investigate which factors allow to predict a future acceptance of HMTs for training new employees on the shop floor. After collecting 46 survey responses and applying a partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach, the findings indicate that the protection of personal data and satisfaction with the technology significantly influence the usage of HMTs among new employees. Furthermore, a significant effect was found for experience and ease of use.
