This paper addresses the lack of Extended Reality (XR) applications in practice using an example of factory layout planning (FLP). With a comprehensive analysis we provide recommendations for choosing XR technologies (i.e., Mixed and Virtual Reality – MR/VR; handheld and head-mounted displays – HHDs/HMDs) across FLP use cases. For seamless transitions between use cases and recommended technologies, we implemented consistent object translation and rotation methods in a multi-user MR-HHD app for conceptual FLP and a VR-HMD app for detailed FLP. A pilot study demonstrated the spatial interaction technique’s learnability and applicability. While the participants found XR more useful in detailed versus conceptual FLP, both applications as well as the implemented manipulation constraints and visual abstractions were deemed intuitive to use. User feedback was translated into recommendations for collision prevention, training apps, object selection, and collaboration support. Along with the proposed extensions these results apply beyond FLP to various industries.

摘要

This paper addresses the lack of Extended Reality (XR) applications in practice using an example of factory layout planning (FLP). With a comprehensive analysis we provide recommendations for choosing XR technologies (i.e., Mixed and Virtual Reality – MR/VR; handheld and head-mounted displays – HHDs/HMDs) across FLP use cases. For seamless transitions between use cases and recommended technologies, we implemented consistent object translation and rotation methods in a multi-user MR-HHD app for conceptual FLP and a VR-HMD app for detailed FLP. A pilot study demonstrated the spatial interaction technique’s learnability and applicability. While the participants found XR more useful in detailed versus conceptual FLP, both applications as well as the implemented manipulation constraints and visual abstractions were deemed intuitive to use. User feedback was translated into recommendations for collision prevention, training apps, object selection, and collaboration support. Along with the proposed extensions these results apply beyond FLP to various industries.
