ARIE: Augmented Step by Step Instructions Editor

GUI of the viewer (client side). older version
How often you face a home appliance, like washing machine or an office printer that you can't remember how to operate? ARIE solves us the dependency from opening those long instruction manuals, call a technician or even ask Google...

ARIE gives you the step-by-step instructions in real time, focusing only on the task you wish to perform right now. It is a real-time instructions manual, activated while working on a specific instrument or tool, and more important- the information is presented exactly when and where we need it.

How it works:
An Adobe Flash application (developed in 2009) enables augmented reality marker tracking. Each marker links to a unique product, which has its own database of instructions and actions. The user uses voice commands to select the action they wish.

Applications:
- Home environment: toy and furniture assembly; activating and fixing appliances.
- Industrial factories: automatic on-the-job training (OJT) from day one. Saves a lot of money for the factory, both on the training course cost and for shortening the time the worker learns his role.
