TL;DR

The experimental results show that the training system with augmented reality has high percentages of transferability and high transfer effectiveness ratio, and the users are very satisfied with this kind of system.

Abstract

In this research, an augmented reality is proposed to enhance the skill transfer in the assembly task. In this system, a user can see the additional graphics information superimposed on the real world scenes. Graphical instructions and virtual objects are used for advising the user with the assembly steps and the targeted positions in assembly task. Furthermore, the system's judgment component can guide the user for the sequences of assembly and check whether the user performs actions correctly. The experimental results show that the training system with augmented reality has high percentages of transferability and high transfer effectiveness ratio. The system can also reduce assembly completion times and the number of assembly steps. Moreover, the questionnaire results show that the users are very satisfied with this kind of system. Therefore, the training system embedded with an augmented reality would be a new trend to improve the user's skills.
