Utilization of Augmented Reality Elements for Visualization of Operational States of Manufacturing Devices

This contribution deals with possibilities of using the elements of augmented reality for generation of aided view to the manufacturing devices that work separately or as a part of production line. Idea of augmented reality is present in the form of special displaying unit based on utilization of half-silvered mirror which works on the principle of combination of two attributes – transparency and ability to reflect. With this mirror placed between worker and machine, different useful data and images can be added directly into real viewpoint, what can aid the diagnostic of machines and handling of their operational states and relevant issues.
