Laajennetun todellisuuden tarjoumat tekniselle viestinnälle - kohti teoreettista mallia

Abstract

This article is part of a research project that explores the use of extended Reality (XR) technology and applications to convey technical guidance instead of traditional printed manuals. In the article we present the first stage of forming a theoretical model to explore the phenomenon. The model is based on the concept of affordance and the various points of views of it form four levels of the model: level of rules, level of designed affordances, level of potential affordances and level of affordances as completed actions. These levels will be utilized to scrutinize the affordances extended reality applications offer for technical instructions. The first affordances reported for in this article are those of availability, findability, understandability and reliability of technical instructions based on an analysis of a set of guides and standards for technical instructions.
