The augmented reality research progress in collaboration environment of CAR-CA

It is a new aspect of engineering science that uses augmented reality and collaboration technology to aid the design and maintenance of large equipments. To meet the requirement of the design and manufacture of commercial aircraft in China, CAR-CA (Collaborative Augmented Reality for Commercial Aircraft Design and Maintenance) is developed now to aid the cockpit design and training of components disassembly and assembly. This paper introduces the engineering and technology progress of CAR-CA, including the system architecture, system components, technology researches and future work.
