  This project is aimed at developing intelligent software which monitors and assists human workers at a given manufacturing task. The goal of the system is to detect errors in real time, as well as alert the workers in a user-friendly manner ragarding the location of the mistake made. The highlights of this work involve tracking human actions and movements, as well as making intelligent inferences regarding whether the manufacting task is being executed correctly. This project involves the development and deployment of a system capable of operating robustly in a real factory environment, as well as a virtual reality cave, such as the ones operated by the department of Human-Computer Interaction at Iowa State University.
