Abstract
During this workshop, the participants will explore themes in three areas:
The three themes of the workshop are highly relevant to the ISMAR conference, not least since the region -- Bavaria -- strives in the use of AR in the manufacturing industry. This workshop will increase awareness of the current state of the art in industry and help further develop the research agenda for AR in manufacturing through the identification of common interests and grand challenges. This workshop will produce nine research topics that can become the basis for academic and public/private partnership-funded research projects.
