Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, industry has increasingly turned to digital "smart factories", using the Internet of Things (IoT) to realize smart manufacturing concepts. In this reform, many technologies have played their role, and augmented reality (AR) is undoubtedly one of the frontier technologies with the most development potential and the greatest impact on manufacturing efficiency. Together with robots and 3D printing, they will configure the smart factory of the future. In addition, augmented reality (AR) provides an interface for people to interact with the digital world of the smart factory. The focus of future research should be on the intelligent manufacturing application of augmented reality technology. The Special Issue aims to collect recent innovative research on augmented reality in smart factories. Scientific contributions, ranging from basic research to applied research with pilot industrial applications and demos, are welcome.
