“…The last chart in Figure 22 reports the percentages of time that different authoring solutions have been mentioned across the 30 articles of this SLR. By authoring is meant the process of creating digital contents for augmenting the reality [18]. The most common contents are shown in Figure 14.…”

Augmented Reality (AR) technologies for supporting maintenance operations have been an academic research topic for around 50 years now. In the last decade, major progresses have been made and the AR technology is getting closer to being implemented in industry. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of AR have been explored and quantified in terms of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for industrial maintenance. Unfortunately, some technical issues still prevent AR from being suitable for industrial applications. This paper aims to show, through the results of a systematic literature review, the current state of the art of AR in maintenance and the most relevant technical limitations. The analysis included filtering from a large number of publications to 30 primary studies published between 1997 and 2017. The results indicate a high fragmentation among hardware, software and AR solutions which lead to a high complexity for selecting and developing AR systems. The results of the study show the areas where AR technology still lacks maturity. Future research directions are also proposed encompassing hardware, tracking and user-AR interaction in industrial maintenance is proposed.

Augmented Reality (AR) offers tremendous potential for a wide range of fields including entertainment, medicine, and engineering. AR allows digital models to be integrated with a real scene (typically viewed through a video camera) to provide useful information in a variety of contexts. The difficulty in authoring and modifying scenes is one of the biggest obstacles to widespread adoption of AR. 3D models must be created, textured, oriented and positioned to create the complex overlays viewed by a user. This often requires using multiple software packages in addition to performing model format conversions. In this paper, a new authoring tool is presented which uses a novel method to capture product assembly steps performed by a user with a depth+RGB camera. Through a combination of computer vision and imaging process techniques, each individual step is decomposed into objects and actions. The objects are matched to those in a predetermined geometry library and the actions turned into animated assembly steps. The subsequent instruction set is then generated with minimal user input. A proof of concept is presented to establish the method's viability.

“…Westerfield [129] used ASPIRE, an online intelligent tutoring authoring system, to create content for their in-house AR guided assembly viewer. Commercial software packages may be used together to author and register AR guided assembly content as in the case of Ramirez [130]. For example, Unity [131] and Vuforia [73] are commonly used together to create a functioning AR guided assembly viewer.…”

“…Libraries, packages or software based authoring tools are used in conjunction to create AR systems. For example, Unity [131], a 3D game engine, in conjunction with Vuforia [73], a library for handling registration based on template images has been used man times to create AR systems [130], [222], [236].…”

“…A popular method of authoring AR applications [46], [130], [222] is using a combination of a game engine like Unity3D [131] that handles the display, graphics, and interaction while a third party library like Vuforia [73] handles the registration. While usable instructions can be created, it requires considerable technical knowledge in computer vision and 3D graphics.…”
