Lessons learned on the way to industrial augmented reality applications, a retrospective on ARVIKA

This paper presents and discusses the results of the project ARVIKA. After a short introduction and presentation of the project goals, the augmented reality system is described. It consists in a Plug-In for internet-browser in which all the software components have been integrated. The advantages and disadvantages of the adopted approaches, as well as the lessons learned from the project are presented in details. Finally, the open issues are discussed and future work to be achieved until a possible implementation of augmented reality in an industrial context is proposed.
