Abstract
The system includes imaging unit configured to image a work space at a viewpoint position in a visual line direction of a worker together with a workpiece, a position attitude information obtaining unit configured to obtain a position attitude information which indicates a relative position attitude relation between a viewpoint of the worker and the workpiece in the work space, a virtual image generating unit configured to generate a three-dimensional virtual image which indicates a completed shape of the workpiece in the viewpoint position and the visual line direction of the worker based on the position attitude information, an image composing unit configured to generate a composite image by superimposing the virtual image on a real image of the work space, and a display unit configured to display the composite image. According to the system, efficiency of workpiece machining work can be considerably improved by using the mixed reality technology.
