Projection-Based Augmented Reality Assistance for Manual Electronic Component Assembly Processes

Abstract

Personalized production is moving the progress of industrial automation forward, and demanding new tools for improving the decision-making of the operators. This paper presents a new, projection-based augmented reality system for assisting operators during electronic component assembly processes. The paper describes both the hardware and software solutions, and depicts the results obtained during a usability test with the new system.
