Abstract: Abstract This paper evaluates the possibility of implementation of a low cost augmented reality application for machine maintenance in small manufacturing businesses. Here, an open source cross platform software development kit ARToolkit was chosen, since it offers a real time marker based tracking function. As hardware, the smart glasses R7 (ODG) and a handheld device (Samsung Galaxy S3) were considered. The application was tested on a typical milling machine used in a small size tool manufacturing company. For this purpose, its maintenance procedure was extracted from a paper-based documentation and the information provided by the workers. The AR assisted procedure was implemented using markers and an intern data server providing instructions via Wi-Fi. A maintenance demonstration was successfully performed both with a smartphone and a smart glass in the laboratory and machine hall environments.
