Abstract
Various techniques are described herein that provide for real-time quality control during manufacturing using augmented reality. In particular, in one embodiment, techniques herein project a three-dimensional (3D) virtual shape/model onto a work-in-progress part in the real-world in order to see defects in real-time, thus allowing for mid-manufacturing corrections. The embodiments herein generally consist of first calibrating a “virtual world” to the real world, then calibrating the physical product to the virtual world, and lastly projecting information onto the physical product, such as various design information and/or quality control information.
