The research laboratory of the US Air Force is studying how virtual, augmented and mixed reality technologies can be used to improve aircraft maintenance, and has issued a request for information to support its research. Such tools have already been used in the training, manufacturing and maintenance industries to improve quality and speed. The Air Force Research Laboratory is examining how to replace printed aircraft maintenance instructions with projections of scaled visualisations on to whatever piece of equipment is being serviced.
