Marked in the left-hand monitor region B1 are two points P1, P2 which each represent two image details viewed with the aid of thedata goggles 4. After the first point P1 has been viewed, i.e. after the conduit disposed at or near point P1 has been viewed, additional information is visualized for theuser 7 in thedata goggles 4. Thisadditional information 11 consists of documentation data which, regarding the first point P1, include operational instructions for this pipe section and, regarding point P2, comprise the installation instruction to be implemented in a second step. The installation instruction in this case consists of theuser 7 being informed of the torque and the sense of rotation of the screwed joint of point P2 via visualization of theadditional data 112. Theuser 7 is therefore very quickly provided with situationally appropriate instructions for the object being viewed. If an intelligent tool is used which is able to detect the torque applied at any given moment, it is also possible for the user to be told, on the basis of the current torque, to increase or reduce the torque as required. - Below, background information is provided to the field of application of the invention: this involves an application-oriented requirement analysis and development of AR-based systems to support operational processes being developed, production and service of complex engineering products and plants in fabrication and process technology, and for service support systems as with motor vehicles, or for maintaining any industrial equipment.
- Augmented reality, AR in brief, is a novel type of man-machine interaction of major potential for supporting industrial operational processes. With this technology, the field of view of the observer is enriched with computer-generated virtual objects, which means that intuitive use can be made of product or process information. In addition to the extremely simple interaction, the deployment of portable computers opens up AR application fields involving high mobility requirements, for example if process, measured or simulation data are linked to the real object.
- The situation of German industry is characterized by increasing customer requirements in terms of individuality and quality of products and by the development processes taking substantially less time. Especially in developing, producing and servicing complex industrial products and plants it is possible, by means of innovative solutions to man-machine interaction, both to achieve jumps in efficiency and productivity and to design the work so as to enhance competence and training, by the users' need for knowledge and information being supported in a situationally appropriate manner on the basis of data available in any case.
- Augmented reality is a technology with numerous innovative fields of application:
- In development, for example, a “mixed mock-up” approach based on a mixed-virtual environment can result in a distinct acceleration of the early phases of development. Compared with immersive “virtual reality” (VR) solutions, the user is at a substantial advantage in that the haptic properties can be depicted faithfully with the aid of a real model, whereas aspects of visual perception, e.g. for display variants, can be manipulated in a virtual manner. In addition, there is a major potential for user-oriented validation of computer-assisted models, e.g. for component verification or in crash tests.
- In flexible production it is possible, inter alia, to considerably facilitate the process of setting up machinery for qualified skilled operators by displaying, e.g. via mobile AR components, mixed-virtual clamping situations directly in the field of view. Fabrication planning and fabrication control appropriate to the skilled worker in the workshop is facilitated if information regarding the respective order status is perceived directly in situ in connection with the corresponding products. This also applies to fitting, with the option of presenting the individual procedural steps to the fitter in a mixed-virtual manner even in the training phase. In this connection it is possible, e.g. by comparing real fitting procedures with results of simulations, to achieve comprehensive optimizations which both improve the quality of operation scheduling and simplify and accelerate the fitting process in the critical start-up phase.
- Finally, regarding service, conventional technologies are by now barely adequate for supporting and documenting the complex diagnostic and repair procedures. Since, however, these processes in many fields are in any case planned on the basis of digital data, AR technologies provide the option of adopting the information sources for maintenance purposes and of explaining the dismantling process to an engineer, e.g. in the data goggles, via the superposition with real objects. Regarding cooperative operation, the AR-assisted “remote eye” permits a distributed problem solution by virtue of a remote expert communicating across global distances with the member of staff in situ. This case is particularly relevant for the predominantly medium-sized machine tool manufacturers. Because of globalization, they are forced to set up production sites for their customers worldwide. Neither, however, is the presence of subsidiaries in all the important markets achievable on economic grounds, nor is it possible to dispense with the profound knowledge of experienced service staff of the parent company with respect to the increasingly more complex plants.
- The special feature of man-machine interaction in augmented reality is the very simple and intuitive communication with the computer, supplemented, for example, by multimode interaction techniques such as speech processing or gesture recognition. The use of portable computer units in addition enables entirely novel mobile utilization scenarios, with the option of requesting the specific data at any time via a wireless network. Novel visualization techniques permit direct annotation, e.g. of measured data or simulation data, to the real object or into the real environment. In conjunction with distributed applications, a number of users are able to operate in a real environment with the aid of a shared database (shared augmented environments) or to cooperate with AR support in different environments.
- Augmented reality has been the subject of intense research only in the last few years. Consequently, only a few applications exist, either on the national or the international level, usually in the form of scientific prototypes in research establishments.
- U.S.A.: As with many novel technologies, the potential uses of augmented reality were first tapped in North America. Examples include cockpit design or maintenance of mechatronic equipment. The aircraft manufacturer Boeing has already carried out initial field trials using AR technology in the assembly field. The upshot is that in this hi-tech area too the U.S.A. occupy a key position, potentially making them technological leaders.
- Japan: Various AR developments are being pushed in Japan, e.g. for mixed-virtual building design, telepresence or “cyber-shopping”. The nucleus is formed by the Mixed Reality Systems Laboratory founded in 1997, which is supported jointly as a center of competence by science and by commerce and industry. Particular stimuli in the consumer goods field are likely in the future from the Japanese home electronics industry.
- Europe: So far, only very few research groups have been active in Europe in the AR field. One group at the University of Vienna is working on approaches to mixed-real visualization. The IGD group, as part of the ACTS project CICC, which has now come to an end, has developed initial applications for the building industry and a scientific prototype for staff training in car manufacturing.
- The invention in particular should be seen in the specific context of the fields of application “production machinery and machine tools” (NC-controlled, automation-technology processes) and “diagnostics/service support systems for complex engineering components/equipment/systems” (e.g. vehicles, but also industrial machinery and plants).
- To sum up, the invention therefore relates to a system for, and method of, situation-relevant assistance to interaction with the aid of augmented-reality technologies. To achieve optimized assistance, especially with setting up a system, commissioning and right up to the maintenance of systems and processes controlled by means of automation technology it is proposed that a specific operating situation be detected automatically, that the operating situation be analyzed and that information data relevant for the specific analyzed operating situation be automatically selected from static information and be displayed.
