Mobile Web and Intelligent Information Systems

The engineering of augmented reality applications utilized in industrial settings can be a complex and difficult task. On one hand, ‘smart’ and ‘context-sensitive’ mobile applications can provide excellent user experience, if they are nonintrusive and have user-centric interfaces, On the other hand, they are hard to design, test, maintain, and integrate. Additionally, the development of such applications requires the utilization of appropriate hardware devices, augmented reality frameworks, as well as improved interaction techniques to consider the limitations and opportunities provided by current mobile & wearable devices. In this talk, we will share our experiences gained during the last years focusing on the development of augmented reality application. The addressed topics will cover existing devices, framework support, use cases, requirements, and interaction styles. Moreover, we will present the results of several case studies carried out in the domain of industrial field service and describe the obtained results.
