Development of a support tool for product maintenance using augmented reality

Augmented Reality (AR) provides real-time interactive instructions to improve efficiency and accuracy of product maintenance processes. Although different methods have been proposed for the AR-based product maintenance, there is a lack of methods of automatic product disassembly and assembly planning under the AR environment. This project develops an AR-based tool for product maintenance instructions. The maintenance targets are modeled, tracked and simulated in an AR user interface developed to facilitate the guide and visualization of maintenance operations. The maintenance detail is provided by an AR device in the operation. The developed tool can be applied in industrial maintenance and operation training.
