Review of augmented reality applications in manufacturing engineering

Augmented Reality is one of the most significant and remarkable trends in the manufacturing field, where the ability to test and evaluate products in the real world environment before deploy it to market, makes AR as an important factor in manufacturing development process, however, AR researches still few and most of it not up-to-date, because AR applications is very limited in manufacturing field. This paper gives a pilot review on the most applications of Augmented Reality in manufacturing engineering, in order to urge researchers and Augmented Reality scholars to focus and study them, hopefully to expand Augmented Reality applications in manufacturing. This paper focus on giving simple idea about the main points that Augmented Reality covers in relation to the manufacturing stages
