Head Mounted Laser Projector

The Head Mounted Laser Projector is a user centered 3D instruction placement system for industrial applications. The information provided by system distinguishes between where-to-act and what-to-do. The augmented reality laser projector displays the simple where-to-act information directly on an object (e.g. a white body). A standard screen is used to display the more complex what-to-do information. This results in an information presentation suiting industrial needs.

trackframe

trackframe

Use of AR technology in wide-range industry plants requires a tracking framework which supports a fusion of various tracking technologies based on careful evaluations of tradeoffs between technical requirements and costs. It is the goal of the trackframe project to systematically develop the formal basis of a tracking framework. The concept is expected to consider algorithmic and data-related standards via which tracking systems can be dynamically merged. Furthermore, trackframe aims at providing concepts towards the analysis of quality criteria (such as error statistics for individual sensors) and towards supporting AR-engineers in planning improvements to their tracker configuration. Three demonstrators will exhibit trackframe concepts in industrial and academic setups. (Bayerische Forschungsstiftung (BFS))

CAR

The goal of CAR is to create a collaboration platform for computer scientists (UI programmers) and non-technicans (human factors, psychologists etc.). The platform allows collaborative design of visualizations and interaction metaphors to be used in the next-generation cars with Head-Up Displays. We focus on two scenarios: parking assistance and a tourist guide.

ARVIKA

Arvika

ARVIKA explores concepts of Augmented Reality (AR) in Development, Production, and Service in industrial applications. It is a German consortium funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) that researches Augmented Reality technologies for the support of work processes in development, production, and service for complex technical products and plants. The project is very application driven and consists of five sub-projects: the horicontal projects "AR in Development", "AR in Production", and "AR in Service" as vertical projects are complemented by "User driven System Design" and "Base Technologies for AR". internal project page
