Use case: AR enabled factory worker

In this use case, the factory worker on the shop floor uses handsfree AR technologies to get spatially and contextually updated content corresponding to the task at hand.

The use case addresses the problems encountered by a service technician, a repair worker an inspection manager and so on, on the shop floor. For example, a service engineer wears an HMD and is informed of their task of the day. With the help of AR navigation, the engineer is directed to the exact location of where the task is to be completed. Once the navigation is complete, the second step of identifying the machine and the part to install or repair is executed with the help of AR recognition or AR annotations which help point out the machine or part in context. The task details and relevant supplemental information such as pdfs, videos, 3D models, annotations etc are then overlaid both spatially and contextually. The engineer then completes the task at hand, with the help of the AR guidance instructions and overlays. The protocoling of the task is simultaneously saved onto a server. Furthermore, the real-time updating of the factory map allows for seamless integration and augmentation of information regardless of the changes in the factory environment (relocation of machinery, change in lights, etc)
