Abstract
In recent years, research reached a very high level of development and validation of augmented prototyping systems in support of collaborative design activities. However, there is still great scepticism in companies when it comes to integrating these new technologies within a consolidated working model. Among others, the main barrier to overcome concerns the lack of understanding of the impact of AR systems on the key objectives of a business, such as improving its efficiency and revenue. For this reason, this paper aims to quantify these indicators by observing the technological impact not on a single design session but on an entire product development process, during which the aspects related to its integration are also considered. Thanks to the collaboration with a design agency, it was possible to compare parameters such as the lead time, number of iterations, person-hours and costs between two similar and realistic projects in which only one was supported by projection-based AR technology.
近年来,为支持协作设计活动而开发和验证增强原型系统的研究达到了很高的水平。然而,企业在将这些新技术整合到一个综合工作模式中时,仍然抱有很大的怀疑态度。其中,需要克服的主要障碍是对 AR 系统对企业关键目标(如提高效率和收入)的影响缺乏了解。因此,本文旨在通过观察技术对整个产品开发过程的影响,而不是对单一设计环节的影响,来量化这些指标。通过与一家设计机构合作,我们可以比较两个类似的现实项目之间的参数,如筹备时间、迭代次数、工时和成本,其中只有一个项目采用了基于投影的 AR 技术。
