Abstract
Wearable technology and mixed reality (MR) have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential to improve industrial ergonomics. Wearable technology can enable real-time monitoring and feedback of workers’ physiological and biomechanical parameters, while MR can provide visual, auditory, and haptic feedback to support training and assessment of ergonomic risk factors. This review aims to provide an overview of the current use of wearable technology and MR in applied ergonomics. We first provide an overview of the general concepts and technologies underlying wearable technology and MR by gathering a bibliography using Publish or Perish on various datasets. Then the metadata of the bibliography is analyzed with BibExcel, VOSviewer, Citespace, MAXQDA, and regression analysis. The current applications of wearable technology and MR in the assessment and improvement of industrial ergonomics are also reviewed. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future directions for the use of wearable technology and MR in industrial ergonomics.
