Usability Study of a User-Friendly AR Assembly Assistance

The Augmented Reality (AR) technology is proven suitable to support manual assembly activities. However, existing applications are hardly adapted to the users. To improve AR assembly assistance, we developed a user-friendly and intuitive user interface that was designed for specific user groups and validated in a usability study. The validation took place in a facility for handicapped people and in a manufacturing company. It confirms the intuitive and easy use of the elaborated user interface and demonstrates the importance of its user group's specific design.
