Part of the book series: Advanced Concurrent Engineering ((ACENG))

Abstract

The paper presents the application of augmented reality (AR) to support product design and development. The paper concentrates on a new engineering tool. By this reason design and its issues are presented in a very limited way. The goal of the research was to improve design process and reduce product development time. The presented system bases on CAD software which is integrated with an expert system and AR techniques as a human–computer communication interface. The authors present possibilities of using AR technology in CAD design with the hope that maybe someday it would become integral part of a standard design process of more reliable and durable machinery systems.
