Abstract

An AR system both identifies and visually tracks parts for a user by maintaining spatial awareness of the user's pose and provides instructions to the user for the use of those parts. Tracking the identified parts, both inside and outside the current Field of View (FOV), and any missing parts for use with the current instruction improves the effectiveness and efficiency of both novice and experienced user alike.
