Abstract
Perceptive review of augmented reality applications in the forging industry is the primary goal of the paper. The differences between the Virtual (VR) and Augmented (AR) realities are highlighted first. Examples of the AR technology’s various industrial applications are then presented, which is followed by the evaluation of capabilities of the approaches in the forging industry. The two practical case study solutions were implemented, and their operational capabilities under industrial conditions were tested. Examples of obtained results are presented within the paper.
