A Desktop Environment for Electronic Inspection by Augmented Reality.

Japanease is here.

Abstract:

  Augmented Reality (AR) has been received with much attention for a new interface between humans and computers [1][2]. In this research, we describe a new supporting environment for inspection work of electronic parts by involving AR technology. As AR aims to augment the real world, this research treats a concrete inspection work with real electronic boards by superimposing visual markers, visual commands and virtual instruments. An inspection management system with visual target tracking subsystem with two sided cameras, AR manual and the virtual instruments can reduce work time and the number of mistakes. Results showed that ten subjects who used this environment did a typical inspection faster with less number of mistakes than other ten subjects who used a paper manual did.
