Abstract
In this paper we report the development of a prototype system that supports hands-free maintenance through recognition of the tools that a person is using and the components that they are working on. The concept is intended to use ubiquitous computing as a means of supporting direct interaction on objects in the world whilst supporting indirect interaction with a digital representation of that world (in this case, the diagrams and procedures used to support maintenance tasks). By simply tagging the tools (using RfiD) and providing a means of recognising bar-codes on components, it is possible to guide a person through a maintenance schedule. Speech technology is used to both display the content of the instructions and to manage this content. Video capture is supported to allow procedures to be captured and submitted to the manual authoring process (in order to simplify the complex and time-consuming process of setting up appropriate video recording for all stages of the procedure).
