Increasing efficiency in assembly work with Augmented Reality

Customer specific and individualized products, small batch sizes, as well as increasing product complexity set higher demands for assembly work. Augmented Assembly is a research project at VTT, where AR technology is applied to increase assembly efficiency. In augmenting assembly work, the assembly worker is guided by virtual objects of components and assembly tools, and visual assembly instructions. The worker sees the augmented view through light weight head mounted devices (e.g. data glasses), and sensors provide feedback from the performed operations.

Voice Controlled Augmented Reality Search Interface

The Whisper Deck is a voice-controlled augmented reality data visualization tool that immerses users within a fluid information ecosystem of their own design.

Using an off the shelf Vuzix CamAR head mounted display, users can look around their local environment. A special symbol visible in the environment causes the 3D interface of the Whisper Deck to appear. Users can speak commands to the model to cause it to search the Internet and return relevant information, including spoken definitions from Wikipedia, images from Picasa, Flickr and Google Images, as well as search term comparisions from Google Trends.

The BBC’s Virtual Studiotechnology was used to enable realtime composition of the 3D rendered graphics with live camera feeds. Each studio camera has a dedicated render PC to render the virtual scene from that camera’s perspective. To know what a studio camera’s perspective is, each camera is fitted with a second ‘Free-D’ camera which points towards the ceiling. On the ceiling are reflective, circular bar codes. The 3-D camera data is fed to a computer system that identifies the targets on the ceiling and calculates that camera’s position and orientation, 50 times a second. Series 4 adopted vinten tracking peds instead of FREE-D as an alternative approach.

AR Digital Binocular Station brings Museum to Life

The Digital Binocular Station (DBS) is based on a traditional binocular station, but adds a layer of interactive, 3D stereoscopic digital content between the user and their view of the real world.

This DBS is in the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch, New Zealand – 10 artifacts are glowing, and when looked at for 3 seconds, come to life in various ways. The main aim was to add a deeper layer of context and understanding to the artifacts – how they were made, how they were used or experienced in their original environment and the stories or legends that are associated with them.

Bring your location to life and create a new revenue stream:

  • Increase interest, relevance and accessibility of your location with this unique, compelling installation.
  • Create another revenue stream with its pay per use (e.g. coin-operated) features.
  • Peace of mind – robust, self-contained, easy to use, and has a small footprint.
  • Affordable – available to lease, and can be paid for by a fraction of the revenue collected.
