Industrial Use Case - AR Guidance using Hololens for Assembly and Disassembly of a Modular Mold, with Live Streaming for Collaborative Support

For the development of industrial Augmented Reality (AR) applications beyond the scope of a marketing showcase for trade shows, the practical usability of researched technologies needs to be considered. In this paper we show the design process for a Microsoft HoloLens* application, with the goal of demonstrating the viability of AR-guidance in industrial business. The design is consistently focussing on the benefit of the application as well as usability in an industrial environment. This includes specifically aspects of image and object recognition, which are impaired in a dirty environment or with objects frequently subjected to wear and tear.
