Claim:
1. A method for providing target object information to a mobile interface device user in a dynamic structural environment in the form of a dynamic structure having an environment coordinate system, the method comprising: receiving on a central data processor from the mobile interface device over a communication network a request for target object information associated with a target object in the dynamic structural environment; determining the pose of the mobile interface device relative to the target object; obtaining target object data for one or more measurable target object parameters; assembling augmented reality (AR) target object information for transmission to and display on the mobile interface device, the AR target object information being assembled using the target object data and being configured for viewing in conjunction with a real-time view of the target object captured by the mobile interface device; and transmitting the AR target object information to the mobile interface device, wherein the action of determining the pose of the mobile interface device relative to the target object accounts for spatial changes in the environment coordinate system resulting from changes in the dynamic structural environment, and wherein the AR target object information includes information configured to assist a user of the mobile interface device in conducting an operation to modify a structural feature of the target object, the operation comprising at least one of the set consisting of a machining operation, a welding operation, and an assembly operation.
