Development of ARMSS: Augmented Reality Maintenance and Safety System (Room 209 A)

This paper describes development and pilot implementation of an Augmented Reality Maintenance and Safety System (ARMSS) for steel industry workers. An augmented reality headset displays digital information such as images and video, projected on see-through lenses in front of the wearer. Using this capability, the system delivers workers with hazard information, step-by-step instructions, and animated guides for maintenance and safety procedures. The visuals are displayed on top of the equipment and the surrounding environment, directing the worker to the correct locations. The system also verifies a user’s understanding through a built-in feedback system.
