Utilization of open source tools in assembling process with application of elements of augmented reality

This article describes application area of elements of augmented reality with focus with their implementation in assembling processes. In beginning it brings the information about current state of solutions in these problems and offers closer look to the problems of position and orientation tracking as well as current solutions in area of movement of virtual objects with use of commercial devices working on marker principles. In next part it approaches innovation of such solution in the form of utilization of Open Source tools for determination of orientation and position in real working environment. Main part of the article presents the description of newly created application that uses mutual connection of real data obtained from working area with elements of virtual environments, what creates platform for further progress in area of application of elements of augmented reality. At concrete example there chronological sequence explained in individual steps for creation of new application of virtual reality for support of realization of assembling units. In the end it introduces the possibilities of further development of application possibilities of designed system.
