Sable, Pranjal Pandit Abstract - Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a new type of experience that uses computer-generated content to augment the Real World (RW). An emerging type of experience known as augmented reality (AR) involves adding computer generated content to the real world (RW) that is connected to certain places and/or activities. AR is starting to show up in audio-visual media (news, entertainment, sports, etc.) and is starting to make a real and exciting appearance in other areas of lives (e-commerce, travel, marketing, etc.) [2]. This paper proposes the development of a marker-based AR system that overlays interactive 3D models of industrial machinery onto real-world views. The proposed project will be based on Unity software, which will make it feasible to present complex industrial equipment and move away from typical product manuals that are only text-laden. Users can intuitively see and interact with different parts of their machinery during maintenance, troubleshooting, or training through the AR-based system. This will probably ensure more user interaction with less learning time for a technical operation and is, therefore, most beneficial for the industries that heavily depend on machineries' setups and maintenance. This paper describes methodology, and the probable effects of the marker-based AR digitizing product manuals with first-hand observation in the future of digital documentation across industrial life.
