During this workshop, the participants will explore themes in three areas:
- Augmented Reality and Technical Data Delivery. In this area we will hear from experts and engage in discussion to develop agreement among the workshop participants on what constitutes the state of the art for use of AR to deliver technical data in 2014.
- Augmented Reality and the Shop Floor Environment. In this area we will engage in discussion to develop agreement among the workshop participants on what constitutes the state of the art for use of AR to map value streams and increase value, to avoid waste and increase sustainability, and to reduce risk and prevent human error on the shop floor in 2014. This will be documented in a brief, joint statement. Participants will then develop consensus on three major research areas on which there must be further investment in order for the technology to be widely implemented and adopted on the shop floor.
- Augmented Reality and Quality Inspection. In this area we will engage in discussion to develop agreement among the workshop participants on what constitutes the state of the art for use of AR to inspect manufactured goods in 2014. This will be documented in a brief, joint statement. Participants will then develop consensus on three major research areas on which there must be further investment in order for the technology to be widely implemented and adopted.
The three themes of the workshop are highly relevant to the ISMAR conference, not least since the region -- Bavaria -- strives in the use of AR in the manufacturing industry. This workshop will increase awareness of the current state of the art in industry and help further develop the research agenda for AR in manufacturing through the identification of common interests and grand challenges. This workshop will produce nine research topics that can become the basis for academic and public/private partnership-funded research projects.
