  text: "Nowadays companies operate in a difficult environment: the dynamics of innovations
    increase and product life cycles become shorter. Furthermore products and the
    corresponding manufacturing processes get more and more complex. Therefore, companies
    need new methods for the planning of manufacturing systems. One promising approach
    in this context is digital factory/virtual production\x97the modeling and analysis
    of computer models of the planned factory with the objective to reduce time and
    costs. For the modeling and analysis various simulation methods and programs have
    been developed. They are a highly valuable support for planning and visualizing
    the manufacturing system. But there is one major disadvantage: only experienced
    and long trained experts are able to operate with these programs. The graphical
    user interface is very complex and not intuitive to use. This results in an extensive
    and error-prone modeling of complex simulation models and a time-consuming interpretation
    of the simulation results.\r\n\r\nTo overcome these weak points, intuitive and
    understandable man\x96machine interfaces like augmented and virtual reality can
    be used. This paper describes the architecture of a system which uses the technologies
    of augmented and virtual reality to support the planning process of complex manufacturing
    systems. The proposed system assists the user in modeling, the validation of the
    simulation model, and the subsequent optimization of the production system. A
    general application of the VR- and AR-technologies and of the simulation is realized
    by the development of appropriate linking and integration mechanisms. For the
    visualization of the arising 3D-data within the VR- and AR-environments, a dedicated
    3D-rendering library is used."
