“…Kim and Moon (2013) have implemented a mobile application using AR to train employees in car maintenance. Tsai et al (2012) have developed a mobile solution integrating AR and geographical information to help the evacuation of people in the case of a nuclear accident. VR applications have been proposed by Park and Kim (2013), Gavish et al (2015), and El Kabtane et al (2016) in the training environment and Tati c and Te si c (2017) in the occupational safety environment.…”

The aim of this article is to analyze and review the scientific literature relating to the application of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in industry. AR technology is becoming increasingly diffuse, due to the ease of application development and the widespread use of hardware devices (mainly smartphones and tablets) able to support its adoption. Today, a growing number of applications based on AR solutions are being developed for industrial purposes. Although these applications are often little more than experimental prototypes, AR technology is proving highly flexible and is showing great potential in numerous areas (e.g., maintenance, training/learning, assembly or product design) and in industrial sectors (e.g., the automotive, aircraft or manufacturing industries). It is expected that AR systems will become even more widespread in the near future.The purpose of this review is to classify the literature on AR published from 2006 to early 2017, to identify the main areas and sectors where AR is currently deployed, describe the technological solutions adopted, as well as the main benefits achievable with this kind of technology.ARTICLE HISTORY

“…At that time focus was mostly on how to improve matching accuracy between real and virtual objects, and how to integrate hardware components such as video camera, GPS and laptop. Tsai et al (2012) proposed mAR to support evacuation of nuclear power plants following events such as earthquakes. The system displays direction and distance to shelters on a live camera image taken with a smartphone, using Google Maps and the electronic compass function.…”

Abstract. Rapid and accurate assessment of the state of buildings in the aftermath of a disaster event is critical for an effective and timely response. For rapid damage assessment of buildings, the utility of remote sensing (RS) technology has been widely researched, with focus on a range of platforms and sensors. However, RS-based approaches still have limitations to assess structural integrity and the specific damage status of individual buildings. Structural integrity refers to the ability of a building to hold the entire structure. Consequently, ground-based assessment conducted by structural engineers and first responders is still required. This paper demonstrates the concept of mobile augmented reality (mAR) to improve performance of building damage and safety assessment in situ. Mobile AR provides a means to superimpose various types of reference or pre-disaster information (virtual data) on actual post-disaster building data (real buildings). To adopt mobile AR, this study defines a conceptual framework based on the level of complexity (LOC). The framework consists of four LOCs, and for each of these, the data types, required processing steps, AR implementation and use for damage assessment are described. Based on this conceptualization we demonstrate prototypes of mAR for both indoor and outdoor purposes. Finally, we conduct a user evaluation of the prototypes to validate the mAR approach for building damage and safety assessment.

“…Many studies (e.g., Drøivoldsmo et al, 2002;Leitinger, 2004;Zlatanova and Holweg, 2004;Mabit and Bernard, 2007;Tsai et al, 2012) already demonstrated that using information technology for emergency response during and after radioactive accidents is a good solution to decrease the impact. For example, the Geographical Positioning System (GPS) technique enables to rescue victims from radioactive accident sites.…”

“…A previous study (Tsai et al, 2012) integrated the GPS, GIS, and AR techniques to construct the Mobile Escape Guidelines (MEG). However, the MEG merely allowed people to comprehend the nearby shelters; it did not offer transparent escape routes and indoor escape guidelines.…”
