Abstract:
We present our current state in developing and testing of Augmented Reality
supported spaceflight procedures for intra-vehicular payload activities. Our
vision is to support the ground team and the flight crew to author and
operate easily AR guidelines without programming and AR knowledge. For
visualization of the procedural instructions using an HMD, 3D registered
visual aids are overlaid onto the payload model operated by additional voice
control. Embedded informational resources (e.g., images and videos) are
provided through a mobile tangible user interface. In a pilot study that was
performed at the ESA European Astronaut Centre by application domain experts,
we evaluated the performance, work-load and acceptance by comparing our AR
system with the conventional method of displaying PDF documents of the
procedure.
