Boeing Patent

Essentially using a pico projector to locate various items on the aircraft for maintenance.

When Microvision was concentrating on Eye wear, this was one of their concepts: to label various parts on a machine for repair - order of operations, etc. This is the kind of improvement that could create huge productivity increases (both quality and speed) in all kinds of machine maintenance.

Claims:

1. A method for providing a location specific maintenance history for an object, said method comprising: operating a camera to locate at least one marker tag within the camera field of view (FOV) to provide a reference to a coordinate system associated with the object; determining a location on the object as defined by the at least one marker tag; and, projecting onto a region of projection (ROP) on the object, a repair history for the determined area, the projection referenced to the coordinate system associated with the object.
