The meaning of humans as a most important and most valuable production factor is today uncontested. Humans in production are characterised by flexibility, creativity and a high potential of problem solving. The worker must be supported with suitable information technology in order to fulfil tasks under turbulent conditions. A “just-in-time” delivery is nowadays sche-duled only for the material, not for the information. The objective is to support humans in production as efficiently as possible with relevant information, at the correct place, the correct time and in the appropriate quality. To use these new potentials, technologies such as Multimedia, Augmented Vision (AV) and Augmented Reality (AR) have been developed. In the following contribution, the potentials of these technologies are shown and applications will be presented.
