In many applications Virtual Prototyping allows for an analysis based on computer models reducing time and cost. The Augmented Reality technology offers new potentials for virtual prototyping by augmenting a user’s view on real objects with additional computer generated information. In analogy to hardware in the loop techniques it is possible, e.g., to jointly analyse already existing and virtual components of a system currently under development. In this paper we describe the application and potential benefits of AR-technologies. As an example we present a mobile test platform for the analysis and evaluation of automotive ergonomics under real driving condi-tions in the field of automobile advance development.
