Abstract :
In this paper we present an augmented reality (AR) application for industrial building acceptance. Building acceptance is the process of comparing as-planned documentation with the factory that was actually built. A self-supported mobile AR device, the AR-planar, is used to facilitate this comparison by overlaying 3D models on top of a video image. The suitability of this approach is assessed using an expert heuristic in a real factory, and furthermore the usability of the AR-planar in comparison to other AR systems was examined in a complementary user study.
