Resumen

La realidad virtual es usada cada vez más en la industria para la mejora de procesos, sin embargo, esto puede conducir a un aumento en la carga mental de trabajo, afectando negativamente el bienestar del usuario. La investigación tiene como objetivo evaluar el nivel de carga de trabajo ocasionada por el entrenamiento de ensambles industriales en un sistema de realidad virtual con habilitación háptica. Treinta participantes inexpertos ensamblaron un componente de dificultad moderada de ocho piezas y posteriormente fueron evaluados mediante el instrumento NASA Task Load Index. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el esfuerzo, la demanda mental y la frustración presentaron los mayores puntajes, mientras que la demanda física obtuvo el menor puntaje. Más del 80% de los participantes presentaron carga de trabajo en niveles alto y muy alto, sugiriendo mejoras inmediatas en la metodología de entrenamiento.
