STARMATE
project aims at specifying, designing, developing, and demonstrating a
product dedicated to computer guided maintenance of complex mechanical
elements. The system provides 2 complementary functionalities :
1.
user assistance for achieving assembly/de-assembly and maintenance procedures,
2. workforce
training to assembly/de-assembly and maintenance procedures.
The system relies
on augmented reality technology to provide more flexibility in working
methods.
The Starmate
system :
-
preserves user
mobility in context where access to conventional documentation is cumbersome;
-
improves work environment
user-friendliness;
-
allows user to
access full documentation and manuals directly registered to his working
environment.
Visual and audio
augmentation are used to guide the user through the right procedure to
apply. The system is controlled through both speech and a pointing
device system.
Work is being
achieved according to ISO certification of implied industrials.
Each partner is responsible for providing well-circumscribed elements of
the system. The system is developed from off the shelf SW and HW where
possible. In particular, display devices and voice recognition system have
been purchased on the market.
The STARMATE
project (IT 10202) started in January 2000 to end in March 2003. It is
funded within the EC R&D 5th framework program.
