Augmented Reality in Shipboard Assembly Systems**

现代船舶上有许多非常复杂的系统。这些复杂系统的工程、设计和执行是极其劳动密集型的。而且很难找到一支不仅了解自己的学科，而且了解他们的工作对随后要开发的系统的影响的劳动力。我们相信，增强现实将提供一个宝贵的工具，让经验不足的制造商以最有效的方式完成他们的工作。在这项合作研究中，维多利亚大学的学生和教师将与加拿大一家领先的船舶建筑公司合作，研究使用增强现实和虚拟现实的方法，以推动现代造船制造方法的发展。由此产生的方法和工具有望提高加拿大造船业的全球竞争力，为学生提供使用现实世界模型的宝贵经验，并为云计算系统支持的新型实时用户界面交互提供现实的测试应用程序

There are a lot of very complex systems in a modern ship. The engineering, design and execution of these complex systems is extremely labour intensive. It is also very difficult finding a labour force with the knowledge of not only their discipline but also the effect of their work on the subsequent systems to be developed. We believe that Augmented Reality will provide an invaluable tool for allowing less experienced fabricators to carry out their work in the most efficient way possible. In this collaborative research, students and faculty at the University of Victoria will partner with one of Canada's leading naval architecture firms to research approaches to using augmented and virtual reality to advance the state of the art in modern manufacturing methods for ship building. The resulting approaches and tools promise to improve the global competitiveness of Canada's shipbuilding industry, provide students with valuable experience in working with real-world models, and offer a realistic test application for novel real-time user interface interactions backed by cloud computing systems.**
