Intuitive and adaptive mixed reality system to support nomadic maintenance collaborative activities

Teams of human operators are at the heart of maintenance´s processes. Nevertheless, the aeronautical maintenance domain becomes more and more complex. So, they must deal with numerous constraints, and the mental pressure linked, to get the aircraft available in the shortest time, at the lower cost while insuring the greatest security level. This paper presents a global view of the context study and of our intuitive and ubiquitous information system design to support nomadic aeronautical maintenance collaborative activities. The stress is particularly laid on the operators´ localisation, and on the Team source and the Remote Expertise one, which are the main collaborative sources. For both of them, the situation, some informational needs and interface specifications are presented. Finally, the results according the first simulation made thank to a dedicated virtual tool are discussed.
