Abstract

Described are systems and methods for providing augmented reality information to workers to assist the workers in assembly of objects, such as aerial vehicles. An object or parts of an object may be determined by processing of image data corresponding to a field of view of a pair of augmented reality glasses worn by a worker to determine an object or a part corresponding to an object that is to be assembled by the worker. Based on the determined object and/or part, augmented reality information corresponding to an assembly task may be determined and visually presented to the worker to aid the worker in completion of the assembly task. The augmented reality information may be visually presented by the augmented reality glasses such that the worker can view the augmented reality information and the object or parts concurrently.
