Design and Realization of Robot Workplaces with Virtual and Augmented Reality Application

Abstract

Virtual reality provides an easy, powerful, intuitive way of human-computer interaction. The user can watch and manipulate the simulated environment in the same way we act in the real world, without any need to learn how the complicated user interface works. Therefore many applications like flight simulators, architectural walkthrough or data visualization systems were developed relatively fast. Later on, virtual reality has was applied as a teleoperating and collaborative medium, and in the entertainment area. Augmented reality system generates a complex view where the virtual areas are covered by real environment and offers the basic working place for the user. It is a reciprocal combination of the real scene observed by the camera and virtual scene generated by the computer logical core that mixture the both scenes. It is easy to say that possibilities of augmented reality find the utilization in many industrial spheres like as aeronautics, automobile industry, manufacturing etc.
