Mixed reality for on-site self-instruction and self-inspection with building information models

Mixed Reality (MR) solutions for the manufacturing domain aim to support the construction, production and maintenance processes of factories, its equipment and products. Within the European project ""INSITER"", Fraunhofer developed visualization solutions and MR prototypes aiming to provide relevant data for different stakeholders using Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based information. Planning data of production environments or construction sites is made available on site via MR. The main objective of the work presented in this paper, is to support planning processes as well as production and construction workflows with in-situ visualization of digital planning or process data in MR.
