Investigação e análise de ferramentas para avaliação de usabilidade de sistemas de realidade aumentada aplicadas a cenários da indústria.

Abstract

Aiming at the need for social distancing in the work context due to the Covid­19 pandemic, as well as the technological advance of industry 4.0, this work developed a methodology for evaluating the usability of Augmented Reality systems aimed at remote collaborative maintenance of industrial machines. Therefore, the work proposed nine minimum usability requirements that must be met for these systems to be viable in real industry scenarios. To employ and test the minimum requirements, an analytical evaluation was carried out in a use case of an industrial scenario and a validation was made with a prototype of an Augmented Reality system used in the maintenance of a machine in a candy factory. It was reported which requirements were met by the systems, how viable they are for the industry and the effectiveness of the methodology. Finally, a discussion was made about the importance of the methodology, elucidating the consequence of promoting Augmented Reality systems with excellent usability in the industry.
