This paper analyses the synergetic potential of Augmented Reality (AR) and offline programming (OLP) in the commission of industrial robots. We discuss that AR could utilise existing programming paradigms present in the OLP to simplify the online commission in manufacturing plants with its ability to freely combine digital and real content. Focussing on the complementary use of AR and OLP a theoretically promising use case is derived. The use case is implemented in a simplified mock-up and a user study is conducted to practicably evaluate the feasibility. Ten participants commissioned an offline created program using the developed AR application. As nine out of ten participants could achieve a valid commission by using the developed AR application, the study indicates the feasibility of the presented use case.
