Zusammenfassung
This paper deals with the approach of multi-reality interfaces in the context of
e-maintenance in modular factory environments, specifically remote monitoring and maintenance
scenarios. Through their rich visualization capabilities (stereoscopic video & 3D graphics) multi-reality
interfaces offer a way to aggregate and structure the wide-spread variety of information from different
sources that is required to analyze such complex scenarios. Additionally, they serve the purpose of
making collaboration with on-site personal easier and more efficient in time and cost. Finally, the
browser based implementation fits very well into the web based world that a modular factory
environment represents and make the presented solution extremely adaptive to (non-)industrial HMI.
