Use of Augmented Reality technology in life of technical means

Abstract

Experience in use of Augmented Reality on example of mining machine life is presented in the paper. Creation of resources from designing and manufacturing knowledge at the stage of mining machines designing process that will be available at the stage of machinery use is discussed. The knowledge resources are supplied in a feedback loop with information from laboratory testing and they are available through Augmented Reality. Different forms of aiding the process of mining machines maintenance and servicing by use of Augmented Reality are presented. Examples of machines’ users training at the workplace based on the concept of movable training stand with use of Augmented Reality are given. Technical means that are withdrawn from use became the components of industrial culture heritage. Use of Augmented Reality improves assimilation of history of technology by setting into motion of museum exhibits.
