Abstract: In delivery processes from pharmaceutical wholesaler's sales offices to the client's facilities, an assistance system using handheld devices and paper slips is used. The introduction of AR assistance systems is beginning to be investigated to improve operations in these processes. However, as AR is not yet highly accepted in Japanese industry, a VR environment has been constructed to enable the cycle consisting of prototyping, comparison with existing systems, and sharing the results as efficiently as possible. In this demo, the participants will be able to have a try of each assistance method in the VR environment.
