Olivier Hugues, andr�e Gbodossou, Jean-marc Cieutat . Towards the Application of Augmented Reality in the Mining Sector: Open-Pit Mines. International Journal of Applied Information Systems. 4, 6 ( December 2012), 27-32. DOI=10.5120/ijais12-450760
This article put augmented reality technology, and its application in the mining sector, in perspective. The current vitality in the mining sector in Canada, and particularly in the province of Quebec, is leading decision-makers to use new technologies in a sector which is nevertheless quite traditionalist. An exploration of the different activities connected to mining operations in order to identify the potential relevance of the use of augmented reality in this sector is shown. This analysis put forward some courses of action for improvement and development, from a technical and technological point of view, in order to support the applicability of augmented reality in the mining sector.
