Towards 4D instructions: augmented reality assistance for knowledge transfer

Ian Garcia, Jouke Verlinden

ABSTRACT:

Mixed reality assistance guide posture and hand positioning, and familiarize material behaviour within craft prototyping. The development of the resulting framework focuses on non-intrusive assistance. Barriers include reduced immersion, observing precise hand movements, limited spatial interpretation, and understanding material behaviour. A 3D animation prototype, with roots in embodied knowledge, intends to improve spatial comprehension and enhance process and material understanding. The eventual framework should aid virtual assistance for design skill transfer.
