User-Oriented Augmented Reality Content Delivery and Management for Ubiquitous Manufacturing

Abstract

Abstract Ubiquitous manufacturing provides users with advanced control over the physical manufacturing environment. Ubiquitous augmented reality (UAR) interface enables direct manipulation in an environment containing smart objects. This paper describes a framework for implementing augmented reality (AR) in a ubiquitous manufacturing environment. The proposed system makes use of real-time data captured from client machines to update and manage AR contents. Ubiquitous augmented reality is utilized as a user interface for the client users to receive instructions and guidance from the system and to update the system on task parameters. A review of related work, and the framework, methodology, and implementation of the proposed system, and a case study are presented in this paper to demonstrate the UAR content delivery and update.
