  • First Online:
Handbook of Augmented Reality

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that provides intuitive interaction experience to the users by combining the real world seamlessly with computer-generated texts, images, animations, etc. An augmented world with functions designed for the intended application as well as the end user interaction experience is rendered to the user, resulting in efficient perception and creation for them. AR technology has evolved from one that only appears in science fiction movies to one that has been applied broadly in industries. A review paper published in 2008 discussed the application of AR in industries [1]. In this chapter, research papers focused on the development of industrial applications that were published from 2006 to 2010 are reviewed. These papers are categorized according to the product development cycle shown in Fig. 30.1.
