Abstract

In the industry, complex technologies are introduced to improve the productivity. Because of the maintenance tasks can be very complex, technicians can be assisted by remote experts to perform their physical tasks. Maintenance can be supported by augmented reality technology that directly links instructions on how to perform maintenance tasks. This paper presents a real time collaboration system for remote assistance where hand gestures based mobile augmented reality are used by a remote helper. This method can be used to assist a distant worker to perform manual tasks.
