Augmented reality smart glasses (ARSG) have been available as a commercial product since 2015. Many potential usage areas have been identified, including industrial use. The needs from industry have evolved, with more emphasis being put on sustainability. While ARSG can help improve efficiency and sustainability, there are also similarly associated costs to their implementation and use. This paper aims to present a process for how to choose ARSG for specific use cases as assembly operator support while considering the sustainability of their implementation. A narrative review of the literature was made to identify the current understanding of the environmental impact of ARSG, as well as what has been considered in regards to ARSG being integrated into a manufacturing environment. The analysis of the literature resulted in a proposed decision process. The decision process serves as a baseline for how to guide the decision of whether ARSG could be a suitable solution and, if so, what aspects to consider in the choosing of the ARSG model. Future work includes collaboration with industry to further improve the decision process based on empirical input.

“…Sustaining elevated arm positions for an extended period can induce discomfort, and tilting the neck to point the HMD at the hands can result in discomfort in the neck and shoulders. Moreover, as 3D VR and AR workspaces become more prevalent, a significant segment of the population lacks access to high-end, costly HMDs [9]. This digital divide, driven by economic or accessibility constraints, not only impedes their access to the benefits of VR/AR workspaces but also exacerbates the challenge of achieving widespread inclusivity in these emerging technological realms.…”

This paper presents a novel 'outside-in' hand tracking system for Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) interactions using an external camera, specifically a webcam. While current VR Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) primarily employ 'inside-out' systems that limit hand positioning and lead to user discomfort, our proposed system offers greater freedom in hand placement and supports a natural hand posture. With the potential to engage multiple users simultaneously, the system enhances collaborative experiences in immersive 3D VR/AR spaces. The system captures the user's hand movements through a webcam, processes the frames using a Media Pipe 3D hand pose model, predicts gestures, and calculates the hand's position and orientation. The proposed model achieved a gesture prediction accuracy of 99% in testing. Furthermore, a Unity3D demonstration showcased the system's capability in replicating precise hand articulations and performing tasks such as button pressing and cube stacking. Our approach addresses both usability and inclusivity challenges, offering a more ergonomic and economical alternative for VR/AR interaction.

“…The AR offers an immersive learning platform for students with an enhanced understanding of the complex topic enriched with digital stimuli over a real-life environment. Realizing the potentiality of AR, manufacturing sectors, medical sciences, marketing, travel and tourism and education fields have already adopted this technology in their work sphere and information literacy domain (Uva et al , 2018; Bottani and Vignali, 2019; de Souza Cardoso et al , 2020; Plakas et al , 2020; Kovoor et al , 2021; Fang et al , 2023; Móga et al , 2023).…”
