Abstract

This paper describes the development of an AR-based modular construction system, which can be used within the phases of advanced automobile development. The application completes real automobile prototypes by virtual components to show design variants or to support design reviews. Therefore the user can select virtual car components from a virtual component menu and place them on a real car. Interaction with the AR-scene is done by hand gestures. The evaluation of the applications was done at Volkswagen AG, department of commercial vehicles, a German automobile manufacturer.
