Abstract:
Augmented Reality is a ground breaking technology that can effectively simplify
complex operations. Augmented Reality blends virtual and original realities, providing
new tools to the user to ensure the efficiency of knowledge transfer across different
processes and different environments. Various solutions based on Augmented Reality
have been suggested by the research community: Augmented Reality tools have provided
new perspectives and promised dramatic improvements, especially in the maintenance
program. Augmented Reality, on the other hand, is a final claiming technology and, at
present, it is still affected by serious flaws that undermine its implementation in the
context of the industry . This paper presents examples of Augmented Reality applications
and demonstrates the potential of Augmented Reality solutions in maintenance tasks,
outlining the benefits it can introduce. At the same time the main drawbacks of
Augmented Reality are commented on and possible lines of inquiry are suggested.
