WP2, Worker-centric HCI/HMI Building Blocks, aims to develop (in a co-creation process with shop-floor staff) the smart factory solution’s worker-centric HCI/HMI building blocks, characterised by maximum usability, user experience (UX) and technology acceptance. As a preliminary work, or expressed as “parallel guiding work”, Task 2.1, Analysis of Technical Requirements and Technology Monitoring will create and maintain a state of the art regarding available and trending technologies (devices, software developments and tools etc.) within the very dynamic field of today’s HCI technology (smart glasses, smart textiles etc.). Furthermore, Task 2.1 will review new (disrupting) HCI paradigms and will relate them to already established (and sometimes outdated) HCI paradigms. D2.1 is the result of the work of T2.1. Its final objective is to create a vision of the current and future developments of HCI technologies and paradigms that will allow other WP2 tasks to obtain the maximum benefit when implementing HCI building blocks, as well as support future technologies adaptation as they become available during the project execution. D2.1 will also provide a general evaluation of existing technologies considering their applicability on the factories’ shop floor but always observing project objectives and industrial challenges reflected in the project proposal. The technologies evaluation will be provided as a taxonomy of technologies that will be evaluated on a TRL-based scale. The taxonomy will be updated in subsequent versions in order to track the technology maturity evolution during the project life. It will also comment on the observed state of technology.
