A Study On The Augmented Reality Based Industrial Training System

Industry training, which plays an important role in the development of enterprise and talent development in the modern society, can well improve training efficiency and help the trainee to have a good command of skills. When it comes to the training for companies in the industry field, it always troubles the enterprise a lot in respect of its cost, time flexibility and training venue. As the new tech for training, virtual reality has brought the new vision for training compared to the traditional way. However, there are also several disadvantages, for instance, heavy workload for the reality realization, low immersion of the participants and unavailable on-line support.By contrast, augmented reality technology can greatly improve trainees' participation perception by combing the computer synthetic information with the real world. What's more, the application of augmented reality would release people from the heavy workload. Mobile computing technology, especially which is realized by the portable computer, can make the training participants share or get information whenever and wherever without the limitation of time and venue. Thus this paper carries out the application of the mobile collaborative augmented reality technology to industrial training. Besides, this paper tries to explore the way of self-assisting training via portable computer and smart phones.This research puts forward based on the status quo, aiming to point out the imperfection of the information technology application in the training of repairing and other aspects. Under the guidance of theory of situated cognition, this research develops an Augmented Reality Industrial Training System (ARITS) for the training, attaching the great importance on ARITS design, development, realization, case study with the target to provide a good training platform via modern tech, and to be a kind of complement for onsite training. The main points can be concluded as follows:1. ARITS environment design and model design, under the analysis of learning theories;2. Integrated ARITS design, presenting the framework and its core technology based on environment design;3. Realization of the system development and prototype; 4. Case Study with analysis and evaluation.This paper consists of six chapters and it can divide into two parts from the aspect of logical:The Ist Part starts a discussion from its theory. with detailed research in definition, core technology, status quo in domestic and abroad. The paper puts a lot of efforts on the technologies for realization of the training based on the Augmented Reality, including the supporting system for study, augmented reality and the application of computer supported cooperative work technology. Then, the paper goes a deeply research on the design of the ARITS learning environment.The2nd part attaches importance in ARITS design and prototype realization with description of its structure and composition. The core technologies, development and operating procedure also can be found in this part. Based on the prototype, three cases are illustrated. Besides, evaluation of the prototype, case application has been done. Tracking with the training records, we can easily observe the feedback and consequently carry out the evaluation. Last but not least, the paper makes a summary, with the discussion of the meaning of the research, its application of innovation, disadvantages, and action items in the future study.Augmented Reality, as the new tech for educational technology, is also the cutting edge in training area. The application shows that ARITS will definitely bring big change in the training, no matter in the training effects, ability improvement or skills enhancement.
