SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING A DOCUMENTATION OF WORKING PROCESSES FOR DISPLAY IN AN AUGMENTED REALITY SYSTEM IN PARTICULAR IN A PRODUCTION ASSEMBLY SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE ENVIRONMENT

A system and method for augmnented reality documentation of a work process such as production, installation, or maintenance. A camera records images of objects in the work process. A tracking mechanism determines the position and orientation of the camera relative to points in space. A mobile computer at the workstation processes the camera images and the position and orientation of the camera, and relays this information to a remote computer system. A technical editor uses the remote computer system to supplement the image data with symbols and text assigned to points in space, producing support documentation for the work process. This information may be displayed on goggles on a service technician perforiming the work, making the support documentation appear as if displayed in space adjacent to the objects in a workflow sequence to guide the technician.
