The concept of Augmented Reality (AR) has existed in the field of aerospace for several decades in the form of Head-Up Display (HUD) or Head-Worn Display (HWD). These displays enhance Human-Machine Interfaces and Interactions (HMI2) and allow pilots to visualize the minimum required flight information while seeing the physical environment through a semi-transparent visor. Numerous research studies are still being conducted to improve pilot safety during challenging situations, especially during low visibility conditions and landing scenarios. Besides flight navigation, aerospace engineers are exploring many modern cloud-based AR systems to be used as remote and/or AI-powered assist tools for field operators, such as maintenance technicians, manufacturing operators, and Air Traffic Control Officers (ATCO). Thanks to the rapid advancement in computer vision and deep neural network architectures, modern AR technologies can also scan or reconstruct the 3D environment with high precision in real time. This feature typically utilizes the depth cameras onboard or independent from the AR devices, helping engineers rapidly identify problems during an inspection and implement the appropriate solutions. Some studies also suggest 3D printing of reconstructed models for additive manufacturing. This chapter covers several aspects and potentials of AR technology in the aerospace sector, including those already adopted by the companies and those currently under research.
