Assembly instruction with augmented reality on Android application “assembly with AR”

Assembly instruction is an activity of collecting or grouping parts/objects/components that fit together to form a self-contained unit through assembly operations. Conventional object assembly instruction were usually illustrated in a paper manual. In this paper, augmented reality is presented for a user to interact with objects and proposed for enhancing assembly task. Augmented Reality (AR) integrates virtual information (computer graphics, text, sound) into the physical environment so that the user can percieve that information as existing in real life. Assembly with AR is the application that provides virtual 3D model and combine it into real live environment using their smartphone to help people who sometimes have a problem with the assembly instruction. The 3D model will be shown on the target marker which is the marker and the tracker for the model. By using this application, the users now will be able to see the models and its animation in other perspectives by moving around the target marker.
