Acquisition and Knowledge Representation in the Product Development Process with the Use of Augmented Reality

The authors present a method and system based on a method for aiding a designer by use of augmented reality techniques. The presented method uses Unified Modeling Language diagrams in acquisition and knowledge representation. The presented method allows the delivering of knowledge to the designer in both procedural and declarative representations. It is important that the method also use multimedia representation of knowledge, especially interactive animated 3D CAD models. Knowledge is delivered to the user by use of augmented reality techniques. AR is a technique for changing views of virtual data – especially 3D models – in a real environment. AR allows the user to understand the presented virtual data and knowledge in a more comprehensive way, thus making the design process more efficient than that presently supported by conventional present-day CAD systems.
