Multi-interfaces approach to situated knowledge management for complex instruments: first step toward industrial deployment
This paper presents an approach to managing knowledge specific to a particular location for complex instruments. The goal is to improve the knowledge communication between experts and end-users of scientific instruments. We propose a computational framework that integrates augmented reality and augmented virtuality as interface for manipulating knowledge. The augmented virtuality-based interface can be produced and distributed without extra costs. It allows knowledge dissemination at a larger scale. The prominent feature of our model is that the knowledge representation is independent from those interfaces. A preliminary version of our framework has been implemented and deployed in customers environments.
