- Augmented Reality for Maintenance Help of Optometry EquipmentPublication . Pinção, Fernando Sismeiro de Sousa; Almeida, Henrique de Amorim; Marto, Anabela Gonçalves RodriguesAs in other areas of medicine and industry, optometry makes use of a vast array of equipment, which professionals are able to operate. The equipment used in this research needs maintenance and calibration during time, which could require the assistance of professionals in the area. In this scope, the present document was developed in way to evaluate the applicability of Augmented Reality tools as an assistant to optometry professionals to reduce the difficulty of calibration. The objective was based on previous works by other researchers, as well as essays carried out directly with the equipment properly said. During the investigation, there were performed two cases of study using Augmented Reality applications. On the first case of study, the use of paper manual was compared to the technology with and without overlapping for the identification of parts in the equipment. In the second case of study, however, both instruction systems were evaluated in terms of efficiency for assembly instructions and memory. The essays, performed by participants of ages from 17 to 70 years old, revealed that Augmented Reality presents an improvement in parts recognition, assembly and tasks memorization.
