“…Reiner and colleagues [34] demonstrated AR documentation for car door assembly. Separate work by Tang and colleagues [42] and Robertson, MacIntyre and Walker [36], both addressing toy block assembly, demonstrated quantitative performance advantages for AR over traditional media and non-registered overlaid graphics. Zauner, Haller, and Brandl [47] presented, but did not evaluate, step-by-step AR instructions to help in assembly of furniture, while Salonen and Sääski [38] found that users gave high qualitative ratings to their AR system for 3D puzzle assembly.…”

Figure 1: AR assistance for psychomotor phase of a procedural task. (Left) Dynamic 3D arrows and labels overlaid on aircraft engine components (center) respond to ongoing user activity to provide assistance in achieving (right) alignment of components. (Captured by a video camera looking through optical-see-through display used in study. A post-render filter was applied to remove camera distortion and vignetting.) ABSTRACTProcedural tasks are common to many domains, ranging from maintenance and repair, to medicine, to the arts. We describe and evaluate a prototype augmented reality (AR) user interface designed to assist users in the relatively under-explored psychomotor phase of procedural tasks. In this phase, the user begins physical manipulations, and thus alters aspects of the underlying task environment. Our prototype tracks the user and multiple components in a typical maintenance assembly task, and provides dynamic, prescriptive, overlaid instructions on a see-through head-worn display in response to the user's ongoing activity. A user study shows participants were able to complete psychomotor aspects of the assembly task significantly faster and with significantly greater accuracy than when using 3D-graphics-based assistance presented on a stationary LCD. Qualitative questionnaire results indicate that participants overwhelmingly preferred the AR condition, and ranked it as more intuitive than the LCD condition.

“…There is evidence that AR can improve the performance of the user in traditional industrial tasks like assembly work (Tang et al, 2003) and maintenance (Henderson and Feiner, 2009). We believe that the technology could also improve productivity in the field of forestry.…”

Augmented reality human machine interface is demonstrated in the cabin of a forest machine outdoors for the first time in real time. In this work, we propose a system setup and a real-time capable algorithm to augment the operator's visual field with measurements from the forest machine and its environment. In the demonstration, an instrumented forestry crane and a lidar are used to model the pose of the crane and its surroundings. In our approach, a camera and an inertial measurement unit are used to estimate the pose of the operator's head in difficult lighting conditions with the help of planar markers placed on the cabin structures. Using the estimate, a point cloud and a crane model are superimposed on the video feed to form an augmented reality view. Our system is tested to work outdoors using a forest machine research platform in real time with encouraging initial results.

“…In addition, [28] described a comparative study of the effectiveness of four different presentations of instructions for an assembly task: printed manual, monitordisplay, see-through head-mounted display, and spatially registered augmented reality (AR). Measurements were task performance (time and accuracy) and perceived mental workload.…”

Abstract.Prior studies have shown benefits of interactions on mobile devices. Device mobility itself changes the nature of the user experience; interactions on mobile devices may present better support for cognition. To better understand cognitive demands related to mobility, the current study investigated presentations on a mobile device for a three-dimensional construction task. The task imposed considerable cognitive load, particularly in demands for mental rotation; individual differences in spatial ability are known to interact with these demands. This study specifically investigated mobile device orientations and participants' spatial ability. Subjects with low spatial ability were able to complete the task more effectively when shown the presentation in a favorable orientation. Individuals who saw the presentation in an unfavorable orientation and those of low spatial ability, were differentially disadvantaged. We conclude that mobility can reduce cognitive load by limiting demands for spatial processing relating to reorientation.
