Abstract

This thesis explores the use of augmented reality (AR) technology in industrial contexts and proposes a solution to the problem of sharing 3D volumes of interest across distributed computing and communication networks. The main goal is to develop a system that allows users to send and receive 3D volumes of interest in a lightweight format, specifically the glTF format, using AR technology. The thesis provides an overview of the technical background, including Vuforia extended tracking, voxel carving, marching cubes algorithm, and glTF. The related work section discusses similar uses of AR and glTF in industrial contexts. The methodology section presents the conceptual framework and implementation details, including voxel carving, marching cubes algorithm, and glTF export and import. A non representative user study evaluates the system’s effectiveness and usability regarding the newly implemented communication interface. The test scores showed promising results indicating no severe deficiencies in the system. And the future work section proposes additional features and improvements.
