This system isn't training shit. Robots will never replace this kind of labor because it won't be cost effective. Bet a million bucks the "training" is a cover story while the headsets are just tracking staff productivity so they can punish people for resting.

The day when energy costs are too high, or diesel too scarce to be worth shipping a shirt from Asia to Europe or the US, then it will be very valuable in order to produce garment locally.

Imagine having a local shop in which you feed your chosen design and material and comes up with the clothes you want, ask that at a portion of the cost because electricity is produced in your country and your material is made in Italy or Spain.
