Abstract
In this paper we expound our theoretical hypothesis covering Design and Cognitive factors to be considered while designing an effective Augmented/Mixed Reality system solution for industrial use cases. For demonstration purposes, the targeted scenario chosen is an offshore oil-rig maintenance scenario: this scenario involves critical tasks in the areas of equipment maintenance, quick error recognition, safety, and effectiveness. With the goal towards enhanced effective Situational Awareness of the Oil Rig industrial system, the scenario involves oil-rig stakeholder collaboration/participation and remote assistance.
An additional aim of the paper is introducing new perspectives for effective operations in an industrial maintenance scenario using mixed reality systems: the perspectives extends towards the following principles of study - Experience Design, Usability, Cognitive Science and Situational Awareness. Using Cognitive Science principles and Design Thinking approach, we try to bridge the existing white gap in the research space and intend to spearhead research towards surfacing the points to be considered in effectively designing Mixed Reality systems in such Industrial scenarios. The use of multimodal sensory augmentations such as sound and haptics to aid a better experience in performing a particular task, is also given attention. Elucidation of a functional prototype built using Microsoft Hololens1 is shared and next steps and targets are showcased as well.
