Student Name and ID
Project area Human Computer Interaction
Project name Advancing the concepts of Augmented Reality for improving developing and designing processes in manufacturing
industry
Key words Augmented reality, virtual reality, designing, manufacturing, manufacturing industry
1. Introduction Background
Information,
Issues and
Current Solutions
The process of manufacturing involves the transforming of raw materials and information
into final supplies with the addition of good value in order to enhance the satisfaction of
buyers. But with the emerging technologies, competition is increasing that affects on the cost,
time, flexibility and quality that directly impacts on the productivity of manufacturing
industry. In order to enhance responsiveness, stimulate, assist and advance manufacturing
process, there is the need of utilisation of the concepts of augmented reality. The concept of
digital manufacturing and CAD tools are the current solutions used in this industry. The
maximum requirements and expensive processes of virtual reality used in the manufacturing
industry is also a big problem.
Shortcomings/
limitations in the
current /existing
solutions
The limitations of the current solutions are related to the lack of innovativeness and the
constraints related to the planning and designing of products impacts on the quality of
products.
Importance of
solving this
problem
This study is important in order to advance the processes of design, planning, machining and
other through using the concepts of augmented reality.
2. The Main aims of
this research
The goal is to understand and advance the AR concepts, integrate these concepts with real working surrounding
(manufacturing processes) and enhance the quality of products in order to boosts growth of manufacturing
companies.
3. The questions which
need to be addressed in
this research
RQ1: How the concepts of augmented reality increase the productivity of manufacturing industry?
RQ2: What are the challenges faced by the manufacturing company?
RQ3: How AR facilitates the processes like planning and designing?
RQ4: What are the current issues and how it could be resolved through the involvement of AR?
