Abstract

Recent advances in the development of smart glasses enable new interaction patterns in an industrial context. In the field of Mixed Reality, in which the real world and virtual objects fuse, new developments allow for advanced procedures of condition monitoring. Hereby, the smart glasses serve as a mobile display and inspection station. In this work, we focus on the applicability of Mixed Reality to monitor data of the spatially resolved current density distribution of a fuel cell. To be more specific, we implemented an IoT approach based on the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport protocol (MQTT) to enable the aforementioned monitoring. The realized solution, in turn, provides a live monitoring as well as an overview feature.
