“…In order to facilitate these members, design techniques which easily represent a product concept or component for design evaluation must be utilised. AR technologies have been implemented extensively for collaborative design applications [12][13][14][15][16] allowing for representation, evaluation and modification of a design in a group environment.…”

“…This can be related to the relationship between the designer and a senior manager or CEO of a company who may not be familiar with the design process. Schumann et al noted that "Nowadays the convincing presentation of new products is a lengthy and often very expensive task" [18]. This is due to the different experience levels of stakeholders which can make the communication of ideas very difficult for the designer.…”

Abstract. This paper suggests an approach to assist the identification of suitable areas of application of AR within the product design process. The approach utilizes an established methodology for product design development that allows each stage in the design process to be identified and considered in a logical and structured manner. By doing this we can consider the suitability for AR at each stage as opposed to the use of hand drawings, basic computer aided design, virtual reality, or rapid prototyping techniques and suchlike to produce physical models. As an example of this we consider the concept design stage of the product design process and conduct some preliminary experiments in the use of AR to facilitate the activity. Keywords:Augmented reality, product design, total design, concept design, industrial design. IntroductionIt is apparent that within the realm of product design and manufacture there is an ongoing need to reduce the time from the identification of a market need for a product and the satisfaction of that need in the form of a finished product that meets the customer"s requirements. Over the past few decades an important method of meeting this need has been the implementation of the concept of Concurrent Engineering -this is an attempt to consider in an integrated and parallel manner, product design, development, manufacture, delivery, maintenance, and end of product life considerations. This approach has been employed by many major manufacturing companies and utilizes multidisciplinary teams comprised of, for example, component suppliers, product design and manufacturing engineers, purchasing personnel, and customers. Efficient and unambiguous communication of ideas is essential throughout this activity and we consider here how this can be facilitated by the use of Augmented Reality.As an essential part of this process it is clearly necessary to design the product in a rational manner and a number of methodologies have been developed in order to achieve this. One of these is "Total Design" developed by Pugh [1] and defined as "The systematic activity necessary, from the identification of the market /user need, to the selling of the successful product to satisfy that need -an activity that encompasses product, process, people and organization." The elements of this methodology are summarized here and used as a vehicle for identifying specific aspects of the design process where AR could be usefully employed. We show that not only is the use of AR beneficial for the product designer but also for improving communication with the final customer and others involved in the integrated concurrent engineering exercise of new product innovation. 2Total Design

Computer Aided Design applications have become designers' inevitable tools for expressing and simulating innovative ideas and concepts. However, replacing traditional materials and mock-ups with 3D CAD systems, designers are faced with the intangibility problem, unable to physically interact with test products in early stages of design process. As a touchable and graspable interface based on 3D CAD data, we propose Augmented Foam, which applies Augmented Reality technologies to physical blue foams. Using Augmented Foam, a blue foam mockup is overlaid with a 3D virtual object, which is rendered with the same CAD model used for mock-up production. We presented a method to correct occlusions of the virtual products by user's hand. Augmented Foam was tested for a mug design and a cleaning robot design. Designers were able to inspect and evaluate the design alternatives interactively and efficiently.

“…In view of this, extensive research on AR has been done in numerous applications. For instance, in medical applications, health officials can be trained and assisted by superimposed renderings of medical data such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computer tomography (CT) or ultrasound [1][2][3]. Similarly, AR has been applied in the field of assembly, maintenance, and repair [4,5].…”

This paper presents a geospatial collision detection technique consisting of two methods: Find Object Distance (FOD) and Find Reflection Angle (FRA). We show how the geospatial collision detection technique using a computer vision system detects a computer generated virtual object and a real object manipulated by a human user and how the virtual object can be reflected on a real floor after being detected by a real object. In the geospatial collision detection technique, the FOD method detects the real and virtual objects, and the FRA method predicts the next moving directions of virtual objects. We demonstrate the two methods by implementing a floor based Augmented Reality (AR) game, Ting Ting, which is played by bouncing fire-shaped virtual objects projected on a floor using bambooshaped real objects. The results reveal that the FOD and the FRA methods of the geospatial collision detection technique enable the smooth interaction between a real object manipulated by a human user and a virtual object controlled by a computer. The proposed technique is expected to be used in various AR applications as a low cost interactive collision detection engine such as in educational materials, interactive contents including games, and entertainment equipments.
