An experimental augmented reality application that provides benefits to professional mechanics performing maintenance and repair tasks in a field setting is explored and a qualitative survey showed that mechanics found the augmented reality condition intuitive and satisfying for the tested sequence of tasks.Abstract:
We explore the development of an experimental augmented reality application that provides benefits to professional mechanics performing maintenance and repair tasks in a field setting. We developed a prototype that supports military mechanics conducting routine maintenance tasks inside an armored vehicle turret, and evaluated it with a user study. Our prototype uses a tracked headworn display to augment a mechanic's natural view with text, labels, arrows, and animated sequences designed to facilitate task comprehension, localization, and execution. A within-subject controlled user study examined professional military mechanics using our system to complete 18 common tasks under field conditions. These tasks included installing and removing fasteners and indicator lights, and connecting cables, all within the cramped interior of an armored personnel carrier turret. An augmented reality condition was tested against two baseline conditions: the same headworn display providing untracked text and graphics and a fixed flat panel display representing an improved version of the laptop-based documentation currently employed in practice. The augmented reality condition allowed mechanics to locate tasks more quickly than when using either baseline, and in some instances, resulted in less overall head movement. A qualitative survey showed that mechanics found the augmented reality condition intuitive and satisfying for the tested sequence of tasks.read more

Effects of Interaction Method, Size, and Distance to Object on Augmented Reality Interfaces
TL;DR: In this article , the optimal usability design of the AR interface was derived by analyzing the performance of 12 interface conditions (2 button sizes × 3 distances × 2 interaction types) with an experiment conducted using Microsoft HoloLens, where participants performed button selection tasks with an array of 3 × 3 virtual buttons.

Augmented reality: an application of heads-up display technology to manual manufacturing processes
T.P. Caudell,D.W. Mizell +1 more
TL;DR: The authors describe the design and prototyping steps they have taken toward the implementation of a heads-up, see-through, head-mounted display (HUDset), combined with head position sensing and a real world registration system, that will enable cost reductions and efficiency improvements in many of the human-involved operations in aircraft manufacturing.

Comparative effectiveness of augmented reality in object assembly
TL;DR: Results indicate that overlaying 3D instructions on the actual work pieces reduced the error rate for an assembly task by 82%, particularly diminishing cumulative errors - errors due to previous assembly mistakes.
