Abstract
This paper introduces an Augmented Reality (AR) system
for the space industry. As part of the main maintenance
use case of the EdcAR project, the objective is to verify
if Augmented Reality could be an eligible technology and
productive tool in the aerospace industry. With this aim,
an Augmented Reality Visualisation solution, EdcAR, is
designed, implemented and evaluated with a maintenance
use case of the ISS. The use case was the Centralized
Cabin Filter Replacement procedure. The EdcAR system was
first developed for AR-glasses, mobile phones, and
tablets. Subsequent versions were designed for the
Microsoft Hololens Mixed reality platform. The upgrade
was possible as the EdcAR system is designed and
implemented based on a modular architecture. Moreover,
content creation and visualization are based on the main
principles of the IEEE Draft Standard for an Augmented
Reality Learning Experience Mode (ARLEM). The evaluation
of the two EdcAR system versions have been performed in
the ISS-Columbus training center located in the ESA's
European Astronaut Centre (EAC) in Cologne, Germany. The
test team included an experienced astronaut.
