In the course of the advancing digitization of industry, augmented reality (AR) offers companies versatile potential. However, the development process of application-specific AR solutions requires technological know-how and experience: AR devices must be selected in a targeted manner and application software must be tailored. In addition, the effects and necessary changes on company processes, workflows and employees must be considered and addressed at an early stage when introducing new AR solutions. In particular, the still high technical development costs make it difficult for many companies to participate in the potential of AR.

The aim of the project is therefore to develop a system that enables companies to sustainably introduce individual AR solutions. Based on tools such as guidelines, solution modules and training concepts, the entire process from planning and development to the application of AR solutions in the company is to be supported. Within the framework of the project, four AR applications in the areas of product development, production, sales and operations are already being developed by the four project partners using the systematics.
