Computers to pass on tricks of trade - From Yomiuri Shimbun

The International Trade and Industry Ministry plans to develop a computer
system to record and analyze the techniques of highly skilled workers in
action, so that they may be passed on to trainees, ministry sources said
Sunday.

According to the plan, computers will be used to analyze minute movements of
the eyes, limbs and muscles of welders, turners and other skilled workers.
The recorded data would then be analyzed and digitally and graphically
processed so that young trainee workers could learn the techniques of
skilled masters of their chosen trade.
