Augmented Reality for Aircraft Maintenance

Augmented Reality ( AR) is revolutionizing the application of computers in many ways. With introduction of technologies such as Halolens, AR is finding innovative application for several complex tasks. The availability of AR development platforms such as ARcore, ARKit, Reality Composer, Unity and Vuforia etc have facilitated customized applications to be designed and implemented with ease and speed. The AR apps can be deployed on Smart phones, Tablet PCs, HMDs such as Halolens etc. The AR apps are finding more use cases and being appreciated for their innovative and creative content.

Aircraft Maintenance demands high levels of skills and knowledge for handling complex tasks. There is also necessity for speed and accuracy, efficiency and quality in carrying out Aircraft Maintenance tasks. AR has been adapted for aircraft maintenance with high success rate. AR makes the maintenance tasks easier, interesting and less stressful. The maintenance engineers can rely on AR for on the spot real time guidance through animations, text, videos, voice, collaboration and consultation. The AR has redefined the way aircraft maintenance tasks are performed in the field.

This book is an invaluable reference for professionals involved in developing AR apps for Aircraft Maintenance. The AR technology is reviewed with coverage of concepts, hardware, software platforms, applications, design, implementation and deployment. The Aircraft Maintenance details are also captured and issues and challenges faced are reviewed. The AR app development and use case for Aircraft Maintenance are covered with many interesting examples. The book is a first of its kind and has comprehensive literature review.
