Visual Assembling Guidance Using Augmented Reality

Abstract

This paper describes a study of using the concept of augmented reality for supporting assembly line workers in carrying out their task optimally. By overlaying virtual information on real world objects – and thereby enhance the human's perception of reality – augmented reality makes it possible to improve the visual guidance to the workers. In the study, a prototype system is developed based on the Oculus Rift platform and evaluated using a simulated assembling task. The main aim is to investigate user acceptance and how this can possible be improved.
