Content in an AR World
EAC Customer Story
• Large aviation company
• PTC Arbortext customer
• ~ 1,000 service manuals on 100 aircraft models over 20 years
– Sourced in XML
– Published to PDF and paper
• Problems:– Paper work instructions used on floor
– Need to find service procedures relevant for aircraft
– Need to print and retrieve work instructions prior to starting work
– Typically stops work to review service procedures on printed copy
– Typically stops work to review illustrations on printed copy
– Typically stops work to go print cross-referenced procedures or steps
– Unable to monitor work in progress at the step level
– Unable to electronically record progress at the step level
EAC Customer Challenge
• How to make work instructions for service more relevant and
accessible?
• How to improve cross-referenced service procedures?
• Could we digitally transform work instructions?
– Without re-authoring
– Without re-styling or new stylesheets
– Without re-publishing
• Could we leverage mobile displays, wearable displays, and Assisted
Reality to connect and reuse existing tech pub content?

+ + + +
Tech Pub AR: Animated Procedures
• Bring CAD into PTC Creo Illustrate
– Makes it easy to animated
procedure steps
• Create a Figure
• Add a sequence
• Add a step
• Move components to demonstrate
the step
– Explode/translate/rotate/hide/show/f
lash/color etc
• Repeat until all steps are complete
Tech Pub AR: Animated Procedures
• EAC solution automatically matches DITA steps and AR steps
Etc.
Tech Pub AR: Animated Procedures
• On viewing:
– Content accessed
dynamically
– Warnings, Cautions
pop up
– Text is read aloud so
technician can focus
on animation instead
of reading
– Each step description
