For this project, we will be creating a step-by-step guide that can be used in production, maintenance, and training. Users performing a task will receive guidance on how to do it correctly, as well as have access to useful information such as blueprints drawings, or pdf documents.
For that, we will use a Volkswagen Beetle (car) as an example. We will work with three pictures as targets (side, back view with the trunk closed, and back view with the trunk open) to simulate an operator that starts from the side of the car and then moves to check the state of the car engine, all while receiving information from the AR glasses. In a real environment, these pictures would correspond with the real car (or industrial equipment).
The images we are going to use in this project have been retrieved from the following link:
- A 3D model of the Beetle car: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/beetlefusca-version-2-2f3bea70178345c8b7cc4424886f9386
- A blueprint: https://getoutlines.com/blueprints/6826/1968-volkswagen-beetle-sedan-blueprints
- An image in a PDF file: https://getoutlines.com/blueprints/6943/1972-volkswagen-beetle-1500-sedan-blueprints
In the next section, we will introduce Vuforia briefly before starting to develop the guide project.
