Abstract
An inspection operator views features in a part through a transparent touch screen display, and records defects using on-screen annotations which are displayed in visually associated relationship to the corresponding defects. The operator may also call up part attribute information on the display screen. A 3-D position sensing system on the display determines the position and orientation of the display relative to the part, and a computer uses the position information to perform spatial translations which place the display and the part in a common coordinate system. A camera on the display records an electronic image of the part which is combined with the part attribute information and the annotations viewed by the operator on the display.
