Several research projects have demonstrated prototypes in this area. Steve Feiner's group at Columbia built a laser printer maintenance application [Feiner93a], shown in Figures 4 and 5. Figure 4 shows an external view, and Figure 5 shows the user's view, where the computer-generated wireframe is telling the user to remove the paper tray. A group at Boeing is developing AR technology to guide a technician in building a wiring harness that forms part of an airplane's electrical system. Storing these instructions in electronic form will save space and reduce costs. Currently, technicians use large physical layout boards to construct such harnesses, and Boeing requires several warehouses to store all these boards. Such space might be emptied for other use if this application proves successful [Caudell92] [Janin93] [Sims94]. Boeing is using a Technology Reinvestment Program (TRP) grant to investigate putting this technology onto the factory floor [BoeingTRP94]. Figure 6 shows an external view of Adam Janin using a prototype AR system to build a wire bundle. Eventually, AR might be used for any complicated machinery, such as automobile engines
