Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has paved the way for augmented reality (AR) to transform traditional workspaces into immersive virtual environments. This study investigates the potential of AR-based virtual workspaces to enhance cognitive ergonomics and streamline HR training processes for modern employees. By focusing on cognitive ergonomics, which emphasizes the alignment of work systems with human mental capabilities, this research aims to determine how AR solutions can reduce cognitive load, improve task efficiency, and enhance overall employee well-being. Additionally, the study explores the effectiveness of AR in HR training, assessing its role in facilitating knowledge retention, skill acquisition, and engagement. Through a mixed-methods approach that includes experimental studies, surveys, and interviews with employees and HR professionals, this research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and challenges of implementing AR in workplace settings. The outcomes are expected to inform organizations on how best to integrate AR technologies into their training and operational strategies, potentially setting new standards for cognitive ergonomic practices and employee development.
