The application of AR in a manufacturing process, it will be split into four systems. The first system is the visors themselves. This is the unit portraying all relevant information to the user. This is achieved through the use of lasers and a semi-reflective part of the glass which allows it to be visible. These need to be precisely measured and adjusted specifically for each user, since it is affected by the distance to one's retina.
The glasses in turn are connected to the power unit, which acts as a mediator between the computing hardware and the glasses. This unit transfers all the data as well as the power to support the glasses, as well as has a return flow of information if for example there is hand-tracking or other needs in place.
The computing hardware is where all the data analysis occurs during a simulation/ training or acts as a database where all relevant actions can be stored for larger applications.
Lastly, the Software structure will be accompanying the hardware. This will be a step that will have high initial costs since it will need to be architecture specifically for each company. The more features and sub-systems that are going to be involved, the more they are going to influence the cost of initiation.
In terms of requirements, there are not many concerns for applications in interior spaces. In case of extreme temperatures, humidity, or locations where the equipment needs to be explosive-proof, further investigation and actions will be required. The power draw for the power unit and the glasses is relatable to normal computers, where the computing and data center will draw more power (highly dependent on the size of the application). Overall, there is no requirement for the average manufacturing facility which will pose a problem.
