Immersive Modular Factory Layout Planning using Augmented Reality

Erratum: Virtual Planning, Control, and Machining for a Modular-Based Automated Factory Operation in an Augmented Reality Environment

This study presents a modular-based implementation of augmented reality to provide an immersive experience in learning or teaching the planning phase, control system, and machining parameters of a fully automated work cell. The architecture of the system consists of three code modules that can operate independently or combined to create a complete system that is able to guide engineers from the...

Cable Harness Design and Assembly Planning Using Immersive Virtual Reality

In this paper, the use of head mounted display immersive virtual reality (VR) is investigated as both a cable harness design routing and an assembly planning tool. Due to the nature of this technology being more intuitive as an interface for generating design and process planning information, it is important to understand in detail the activities being carried out by the designer whilst immerse...

Collaborative Factory Planning in the Virtual Reality

The competitive development and optimization of manufacturing systems challenge the collaboration and innovation of enterprises. Different information, thinking, and points of view have to be exchanged across engineering, decision-making, and executive levels safely and effectively. The Virtual Reality (VR) technologies provide the users advanced Human-Computer-Interfaces for designing, analyzi...

The Rooms - Creating immersive experiences through projected augmented reality

In this paper, we describe The Rooms – a horror game that uses projected augmented reality to enable a new type of immersive gaming experience. Interviews and questionnaires from 20 players of the game showed that projected augmented reality games can support immersion and can avoid the problem of nausea that VR experiences can invoke. However, since players experienced different types of immer...
