A system and method for operating and monitoring, in particular, an
automation system and/or a production machine and/or machine tool. The
visual field (9) of a user (1) directed onto at least one display (2) is
recorded and an item of speech information (8) of the user (1) is
evaluated at least intermittently, such that specifically predefined
information data, which is linked to the recorded visual field (9) and to
the recorded speech information, is depicted on the display (2). The
predefined information data is displayed in accordance with the speech
information (8) that is given by the user (1) and recognized by a speech
recognition component (4) and in accordance with the recorded visual field
(9). This provides a hands-free operation of the system, machine and/or
tool, and enables the user to navigate in an environment of augmented
reality applications even when complex technical systems are involved.
