Augmented reality authoring for efficient inspections in green aviation: evaluating accuracy and usability

This paper addresses the gap in AR-guided inspection by developing and evaluating an AR authoring tool tailored for green aviation. The tool aims to overcome the current limitations by assisting the inspector in the data acquisition process using hand-held sensors. The study introduces a sensor guidance prototype applicable to various inspection scenarios prone to human error. Usability assessments reveal positive feedback on real-time guidance and an intuitive interface, though challenges in tracking accuracy and managing complex trajectories are identified, particularly with the Microsoft HoloLens 2. Testing on the Magic Leap 2 (ML2) showed sufficient position accuracy of 1.39 mm, suitable for mobile authoring and tracking of trajectories. While results are promising, further optimization in tracking, user interface (UI), and real-world validation is needed.
