On April 21, 2025, the scientific article "Industrial Application of Augmented Reality Headsets: A Review of Devices and Experience" was officially published in the international journal Light: Advanced Manufacturing (LAM).
LAM is a new open-access journal and a sister publication of Light: Science & Applications, part of the international scientific publishing group Nature. LAM aims to publish innovative research across various fields of optics related to manufacturing, including both fundamental and applied research, as well as innovative solutions to enhance production processes through optical and laser technologies. The journal is intended for scientists, engineers, and professionals working in optics, photonics, and modern manufacturing, and also promotes reviews on new methods and technologies that can significantly impact the future of the industry. It is worth noting that the editorial board includes Bernard Kress, who has been involved in AR/MR developments at Microsoft and Google.
The article’s co-authors are scientists and practitioners — experts from the Russian augmented reality market: A.B. Solomashenko (Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Moscow, Russia), O.L. Afanasyeva (Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Moscow, Russia), M.V. Shishova (Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Moscow, Russia), I.E. Gulyansky (INLINE GROUP JSC, IKSAR team, Russia), S.A. Sobolnikov (FSUE "All-Russian Research Institute of Automatics named after N.L. Dukhov" (VNIIA), Moscow, Russia; Moscow State University of Technology "STANKIN", Moscow, Russia), and N.V. Petrov (Laboratory of Digital and Visual Holography, ITMO University, Saint Petersburg, Russia; Qingdao Innovation and Development Center, Harbin Engineering University, Qingdao, China).
In print, the article spans 30 pages, thoroughly detailing how AR headsets are transforming manufacturing across various industries — particularly highlighting how their integration reduces human errors by providing operators with access to digital services and remote expert support. These wearable devices overlay digital information onto the real world, enabling new ways for people to interact with their environment. Artem Solomashenko from Bauman Moscow State Technical University and his colleagues analyze global practices of implementing AR headsets into production processes and propose an application-dependent metric for product comparison. This metric considers optical and ergonomic parameters of AR devices, facilitating objective evaluation of headset efficiency for specific industrial use cases such as assembly, repair, maintenance, remote support, training, monitoring, and quality control. The team provided in-depth analytics for the most popular devices in the industry based on technical specifications and user surveys.
