Spatial Augmented Reality for Heavy Machinery Using Laser Projections

Maximilian Tschulik, Thomas Kernbauer, Philipp Fleck, Clemens Arth

Abstract: Highlights•AR enhances heavy machinery operation, but current hardware is often unsuitable.•Our laser-camera prototype enables real-time guidance for heavy-machinery vehicles.•With a custom workflow we optimize the projection and achieve precise alignments.•We evaluate the system’s accuracy and perform a hands-on test on a real snow groomer.
