Realization of natural interaction over the micro soot device model

Paper explores methods of achieving natural interaction between the virtual and the real world, along with their application in industry. Significant emphasis is given to the Microsoft Kinect device, whose functionality was introduced in the field of powertrain systems industry. Collaboration with Austrian company AVL, which is engaged in development, testing and simulation of powertrain systems, has contributed with specific problem that can be solved in augmented reality domain. In order to facilitate maintenance of special device for continuous measurement of lowest soot concentration in the diluted exhaust from internal combustion engines, an interactive virtual service manual has been developed. The application uses interaction with the Microsoft Kinect device which enables users to control and interact with computer world through a natural user interface using gestures and spoken commands. The device finds greatest application in interactive entertainment, but this paper presents and exploits its great potential in industrial environments.
