Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging technology with a growing potential for guidance in manual assembly. This report explores the possibilities of Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 glasses for creating an AR-based guidance for a furniture and compares this condition with video-based and the standard paper-based guidance. A series of experiments were conducted on a number of voluntary participants to determine how effective the AR-based guidance is compared to the paper- and video-based guidance and to see if the AR technology is a beneficial successor to the existing guidance methods. All the results were recorded and documented for analysis and discussion at the end of this study. The results showed that the AR-condition did not make a huge difference when it comes to the completion time of the assembly. However, the visualization aspect of the AR-glasses was a great benefit to the users, as they could better interpret the information presented to them compared to the paper- and video-conditions
