Cognitive, performance, and systems issues for augmented reality applications in manufacturing and maintenance

TL;DR: The usability study showed that although this technology is not mature enough to be used massively in education, enthusiasm of middle-school students diminished most of the barriers found.

TL;DR: The results indicate a high fragmentation among hardware, software and AR solutions which lead to a high complexity for selecting and developing AR systems.

TL;DR: Results indicate that overlaying 3D instructions on the actual work pieces reduced the error rate for an assembly task by 82%, particularly diminishing cumulative errors - errors due to previous assembly mistakes.

TL;DR: The results suggest thatUse of the AR platform for training IMA tasks should be encouraged and use of the VR platform for that purpose should be further evaluated.

Abstract: This monograph synthesizes current information from the various fields of cognitive science in support of a new theory of mind. Most psychologists study horizontal processes like memory. Fodor postulates a vertical and modular psychological organization underlying biologically coherent behaviours. This view of mental architecture is consistent with the historical tradition of faculty psychology while integrating a computational approach to mental processes. One of the most notable aspects of Fodor’s work is that it articulates features not only of speculative cognitive architecture but also of current research in artificial intelligence. – Part I. Four accounts of mental structure; – Part II. A functional taxonomy of cognitive mechanisms; – Part III. Input systems as modules; – Part IV. Central systems; – Part V. Caveats and conclusions. M.-M.

TL;DR: Anderson as mentioned in this paper constructs a coherent picture of human cognition, relating neural functions to mental processes, perception to abstraction, representation to meaning, knowledge to skill, language to thought, and adult cognition to child development.

TL;DR: In this article, task-set reconfiguration was investigated in 5 experiments and on every 4th trial in a final experiment, where the tasks were to classify either the digit member of a pair of characters as even/odd or the letter member as consonant/vowel.

TL;DR: The authors describe the design and prototyping steps they have taken toward the implementation of a heads-up, see-through, head-mounted display (HUDset), combined with head position sensing and a real world registration system, that will enable cost reductions and efficiency improvements in many of the human-involved operations in aircraft manufacturing.
