An assembly guidance system of tou kung based on augmented reality

Abstract

Tou kung represent Chinese architecture. Due to the difficulty of learning from ancient books, some develop 3D assembly models. Still, there are limits while using 2D images for assembly instructions. The purpose of this study is to explore whether the application of AR technology can guide the process of tou kung assembly and address the recognition gap between paper illustrations and the physical assembly process. The method is to observes the user's tou kung assembly behavior and performance. Then the study proposed an dynamic simulation AR guidance system to help people not only understand the structure, but also the culture behind to reach the goal of education promotion.
