Abstract

The assembly process increases complex and Augmented Reality (AR) is applied in the assembly process to improve the user’s experience by providing interactive instructions in real time. However, none of the previous studies developed AR application to guide assembly and investigated the complexity of the assembly. The research develops an AR-guided assembly application to provide instruction on the assembly of a laptop. The assembly complexity of the laptop was investigated. The application development involves the creation of model target, 3D models and animations, and the development of the user interface. The laptop consists of ten parts and ten assembly steps are described. Each step comprises animated 3D models and text to detail the assembly instructions comprehensively. Speech recognition has been used to navigate the assembly sequence. The result demonstrates the ability of AR application in assembly guidance with the assembly complexity up to 6.63. With the developed application, the performance of the laptop assembly can be accelerated.
