Abstract

This tutorial covers the AR creation process from idea to solution in an industrial context. Thereby employing the Metaio AR pipeline with practical demonstrations to show how AR projects can be quickly realized with readily available tools. To illustrate how AR can be employed to solve industrial problems, this tutorial will showcase several interesting industrial use cases implemented by Metaio. To conclude, the tutorial provides a brief outlook into new available tracking technologies and AR for wearable devices. Further, potential challenges for industrial integration of AR, for example with ERP systems, are pointed out.

The attendees will acquire a solid understanding of developing an AR scenario from idea to solution. Further the tutorial provides a good insight into the Metaio software environment, enabling and hopefully encouraging attendees to implement their own AR projects in industry.
