Major Technology 8: Augmented Reality—AR

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Virtual Product Creation in Industry

Abstract

In contrast to Virtual Reality (VR) applications, the Augmented Reality (AR) approach enriches real world objects with computer generated perceptual information by means of an overlay. This chapter introduces AR as a major technology of Virtual Product Creation by explaining its basic and advanced technological features. The following industrial relevant application areas are illustrated and described: product design and manufacturing, interactive CAE overlays for objects in life cycle usage, planning and commissioning, training, quality assurance and remote collaboration. The chapters also deals with different human interactions with AR and explains today's technological limitations.
