Towards Augmented Reality in Quality Assurance Processes

Augmented reality (AR) has gained exceptional importance in supporting task performance. Particularly, in quality assurance (QA) processes in the automotive sector AR offers a diversity of use cases. In this paper we propose an interface design which projects information as a digital canvas on the surface of vehicle components. Based on a requirement analysis, we discuss design aspects and describe our application in applying the quality assurance process of a luxury automaker. The application includes a personal view on spatial information embedded in a guided interaction process as a design solution that can be applied to enhance QA processes.
