Study finds wearable technology most effective training method for foodservice workers
The study tested the educational properties of glass with EyeSucceed against traditional, video-based training.
In a new study published in the Journal of Foodservice Management & Education, wearable technology was found to expedite and positively impact food handler training. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Arkansas’ Department of Food Science, Fayetteville, Ark., showed participants needing less than 50% of the time to view, learn and execute proper food handling tasks when using Glass Enterprise Edition and EyeSucceed software from NSF International, Ann Arbor, Mich., compared to the traditional video-based methodology.
EyeSucceed provides a hands-free training module. Glass is worn by the user like a pair of eye glasses, while an optical display located in the user’s field of vision displays training content. Users navigate through step-by-step instructions using voice commands or a scroll pad embedded in the side frame.
