The knowledge work conducted by aircraft mechanics and other stakeholders in aerospace manufacturing and maintenance poses many technical and human challenges. They repeatedly draw correlations across complex technical information presented in multiple formats (e.g., paper engineering schematics, parts databases, 2D/3D models), and correlate that data with the aircraft itself. Their work is governed by procedures that are carefully designed, tested, and managed on an ongoing basis, often leading to vastly different procedural frameworks from one model of aircraft to the next. Aircraft mechanics need to access complex 3D models and supporting digital data across a range of device form factors (e.g., large touch displays, tablet screens, smartphones) and need to move fluidly between these heterogeneous platforms during their work. Integrating digital data into the mechanic's workflow requires new forms of targeted, contextually-relevant information visualization and interaction. Finally, in order to situate complex digital information within the context of the aircraft, ubiquitous sensing infrastructures are required. Our proposed research has 3 key projects that will address different aspects of the overall problem of supporting aircraft mechanics during information retrieval tasks in complex information spaces that include text, 2D images, and 3D models and is accessed over a diverse set of devices. In project 1, we will investigate a hybrid approach that integrated 3D vision and RFID systems for object recognition in an AR environment. In project 2, we will investigate the navigation and annotation of 2D and 3D models. In project 3, we will investigate issues related to the application of solutions in a multi-device environment that includes mobile devices.

飞机机械师和其他利益相关者在航空航天制造和维护中进行的知识工作提出了许多技术和人力挑战。他们反复绘制以多种格式呈现的复杂技术信息之间的相关性（例如，纸工程原理图、零件数据库、2D/3D模型），并将这些数据与飞机本身相关联。他们的工作由精心设计、测试和持续管理的程序管理，通常会导致不同型号飞机的程序框架大不相同。飞机机械师需要访问复杂的3D模型，并支持各种设备形状因子的数字数据（例如，大型触摸显示器、平板电脑屏幕、智能手机），并且需要在工作期间在这些异构平台之间流畅地移动。将数字数据集成到技工的工作流程中需要新形式的有针对性的、与上下文相关的信息可视化和交互。最后，为了在飞行器的环境中存储复杂的数字信息，需要无处不在的传感基础设施。 我们提出的研究有3个关键项目，将解决在复杂信息空间（包括文本，2D图像和3D模型）中的信息检索任务期间支持飞机力学的整体问题的不同方面，并通过各种设备进行访问。在项目1中，我们将研究一种混合方法，该方法集成了3D视觉和RFID系统，用于AR环境中的对象识别。在项目2中，我们将研究2D和3D模型的导航和注释。在项目3中，我们将研究与解决方案在包括移动的设备的多设备环境中的应用相关的问题。
