日益恶化的基础设施维护成本分配在很大程度上取决于现场的准确和安全检查。进行检查的新工具可以帮助确定维护和维修投资的优先次序。被称为“工业4.0”的工业革命是基于机器在协作工作空间中与人类一起工作的智能。实际上，基础设施管理依赖于人类来做出日常决策。新兴技术可以在基础设施检查期间提供帮助，以更客观的数据量化结构状况。然而，今天的业主同意相信检查员在现场的决定，而不是传感器收集的数据。如果在现场收集的数据在检查期间可以访问，则可以通过传感器改进检查员的决策。人类-基础设施界面的新研究机会将使研究人员能够在视察期间提高人类对其周围环境的认识。本文研究了增强现实（AR）技术作为一种工具，在其检查工作中提高人们对基础设施的认识。这项研究的兴趣领域包括基础设施检查（重点是收集结构数据，为管理决策提供信息）和应急管理（重点是收集环境数据，为人类行动提供信息）。本文介绍了如何使用头戴式设备在现场检查期间访问实时数据和信息。作者利用低成本的智能传感器和QR码扫描仪与增强现实应用程序集成，以增强与物理环境的人机界面。本文提出了一种新的界面架构，用于开发增强现实启用检查，以协助检查员的工作流程进行基础设施检查工作与两个新的应用程序，并总结了各种实验的结果。这项工作对计算机辅助社区的主要贡献是使视察员能够使用增强现实环境从数据库和实时数据访问中可视化数据文件。
Decaying infrastructure maintenance cost allocation depends heavily on accurate and safe inspection in the field. New tools to conduct inspections can assist in prioritizing investments in maintenance and repairs. The industrial revolution termed as "Industry 4.0" is based on the intelligence of machines working with humans in a collaborative workspace. Contrarily, infrastructure management has relied on the human for making day-to-day decisions. New emerging technologies can assist during infrastructure inspections, to quantify structural condition with more objective data. However, today's owners agree in trusting the inspector's decision in the field over data collected with sensors. If data collected in the field is accessible during the inspections, the inspector decisions can be improved with sensors. New research opportunities in the human-infrastructure interface would allow researchers to improve the human awareness of their surrounding environment during inspections. This article studies the role of Augmented Reality (AR) technology as a tool to increase human awareness of infrastructure in their inspection work. The domains of interest of this research include both infrastructure inspections (emphasis on the collection of data of structures to inform management decisions) and emergency management (focus on the data collection of the environment to inform human actions). This article describes the use of a head-mounted device to access real-time data and information during their field inspection. The authors leverage the use of low-cost smart sensors and QR code scanners integrated with Augmented Reality applications for augmented human interface with the physical environment. This article presents a novel interface architecture for developing Augmented Reality-enabled inspection to assist the inspector's workflow in conducting infrastructure inspection works with two new applications and summarizes the results from various experiments. The main contributions of this work to computer-aided community are enabling inspectors to visualize data files from database and real-time data access using an Augmented Reality environment.
