Safe Employment of Augmented Reality in a Production Environment Final Report

Abstract

The capabilities of Augmented Reality technologies have grown rapidly in recent years. Though this growth has been driven largely by commercial market development, it is clear that AR has great potential to improve performance of US Defense Contractors. Broad deployment of AR-based tools faces several significant barriers that can most effectively be resolved by a naval shipbuilding and aerospace industry collaboration representing the major stakeholders in such a deployment. The Office of Naval Research, Navy Manufacturing Technology (ONR Navy ManTech) program and its Naval Shipbuilding and Advanced Manufacturing Center of Excellence (NSAM) collaborated with a cross-functional team of US Defense Contractors to perform a technology baseline study that identified the state of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies and the leading technology providers in a number of specific technical areas. The technical areas include Wearable and Mobile devices for Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality (MR), safety requirements, security considerations, and user interfaces.
