Typically, training lessons for Operations & Maintenance tasks have been delivered via:

1.Real world training -- Hands on, using real equipment.
2.Virtual Training -- 2D & 3D Interactive lessons, using Computer/Mobile Hardware and software.

While both of them have their place, there is a third solution, better and different in many ways. It's Augmented Reality (AR).

An augmented reality application generates a composite view (of the above 2 methods). It is a combination of the real scene viewed by the user and a virtual scene (generated by a computer) that augments the scene with additional information layers. It is a 'blended' reality that:

•combines real and virtual views.
•is interactive in real time -- the augmentation or layering is happening as we see the real world objects.
•is displayed in 3D over the corresponding real world object and thus, unambiguous in its context.
As a result, the technology functions by enhancing the trainee's current view of reality.
