Objective
Augmented Reality is an ideal technology for industrial service and maintenance applications. Computer-generated information are blended in the field of view of the technician, so that they appear overlaid to the real scene and demonstrate step by step complex reparation tasks. Nevertheless existing solutions require bulky hardware, severely limiting their usability.
The objective of this project is to develop an "ultra portable" system by applying augmented reality techniques to Pocket-PCs. This will offer a comfortable and unobtrusive solution, integrating augmented-reality functionalities with near-the-eye display, wireless connection, and remote support over integrated mobile phone. The development does not suffer from the development of specific and expensive wearable computers, but relies on the solid market of mobile handheld-devices.
The challenge consists in developing a high-performance run-time system, including all the excepted augmented reality functionalities on a small device with very limited capacity, and in the same time, in providing all the necessary tools for the creation and management of the content. The result of the project will be an ultra-light and compact system with appropriate software for authoring, workflow editor/engine, context management, tele-consultation and augmented reality. It will enable an efficient production of electronic augmented reality manuals, thanks the authoring-system and the workflow editor, and the on-site support of the mobile workers.
The required information will be presented in a small monocular eye-display as text, animation, and 3d-graphics correctly registered on images of the real scene, which will be taken by the user when required. The interactions will be achieved over pen on the PocketPC-display, for example for the compilation of notes, or will be hand-free and occur over speech recognition during the execution of the maintenance tasks themselves.
