Augmented Reality Real-time Repair Manual

By David Y Tan Oct 27, '09 Repairing and maintaining your car and complex machinery will never be the same again. AR Technology being developed at Columbia University in cooperation with the US military shows the mechanic in real time what to do next. Virtual images of parts to be replaced, the bolts that need to be removed and even the direction they need to be turned are superimposed on the real-time view of the engine. Not surprisingly, studies have shown that the AR "repair manual" is much more effective than the traditional 2D computer screen based version of the same instructions.
