Model-free Authoring of Assembly Tutorials in Augmented Reality

Abstract

Among the most compelling applications of Augmented Reality are spatially registered tutorials. The effort of creating such instructions remains one of the obstacles precluding a wider use. We propose a system that is capable of extracting 3D instructions in a completely model-free manner from demonstrations, based on volumetric changes.The instructions are visualised later in an interactive Augmented Reality guidance application, on a mobile head-mounted display. We enable a technology that can be used by anyone in an ad-hoc tabletop setup for assemblies with rigid components.
