Process planning apparatus based on augmented reality

A process planning apparatus based on augmented reality (AR), the process planning apparatus comprising:

• a camera set capturing color and depth images of a processing machine and a probe or a dispenser tip operated by a human user in a real scene to obtain scene data;
• a processor, which is signal-connected to the camera set and the processing machine, creates spatial intelligences for motion planning of the probe or the dispenser tip operated by the human user in an AR environment combining a virtual workpiece with the scene data, and generates instructional data from the spatial intelligences to guide the human user to operate the probe or the dispenser tip to produce machine motion data;
• and
• an output interface, which is signal-connected to the processor, and outputs the scene data, the virtual workpiece and the instructional data to the human user.
