Cooperative Design Support within Automobile Advance Development Using Augmented Reality Technology

摘要：

Today prototypes are used in the automobile industryin the design phases of new cars. In many cases, thereis no complete prototype of the car. Only somecomponents like the platform can be used. Furthercomponents like the car body or the interior design areonly available as 3D-models in the computer. Here thetechnology of augmented reality can be used for thecompletion of these rudimentary prototypes. Thispaper describes the fied of applications of AR-technology within the design phases of new cars. Thedeveloped applications complete real automobileprototypes by virtual components to show designvariants or to support design reviews. Therefore agroup of users can select virtual car components out ofa virtual component menu and place them on a realcar in a cooperative way. The interaction with the AR-scene is done by hand gestures. The evaluation of theapplications was done at Volkswagen AG.
