There are aspects of this use case category that overlap with guidance, assembly and navigation use cases. It may also include an inspection use case (also known as “remote inspection”).
This use case pertains to providing digital assets about current (real time) and historical data to an AR user in context for informed decision making. It can be a component of other use cases, including complex assembly, collaboration, guidance, inspection, maintenance and remote assistance.

This use case pertains to using Augmented Reality to simulate (within and in interaction with the real world) the insertion or repositioning of things using 3D models. The 3D models can be of weather patterns, energy flows, industrial equipment, infrastructure (such as HVAC) or moving objects in a zone or confined space...
View more +This use case pertains to using Augmented Reality to simulate (within and in interaction with the real world) the insertion or repositioning of things using 3D models. The 3D models can be of weather patterns, energy flows, industrial equipment, infrastructure (such as HVAC) or moving objects in a zone or confined space (e.g., factory), complex processes requiring employee to lift or perform a process with an odd shape, including serious games (overlaps with training), simulation of packing diverse objects within volume (e.g., for shipping). Many simulation use cases overlap with visualization use cases and simulation can be used in skill development (training) use cases.
This use case pertains to using Augmented Reality to provide a user with an interactive interface for the real time operation and control of connected instruments or machines.
