Integration of augmented reality and artificial intelligence in assemblies of do-it-yourself furniture

User testing was carried out with a sample of 48 participants and results showed that all participants, despite having no prior experience with AR tutorials for furniture assembly, were able to successfully complete the tasks. High acceptance levels were observed for the assembly process in both devices, with agreement rates above 70%. Tablet users presented more consistent and shorter assembly times, while HMD users achieved higher assembly accuracy but reported greater discomfort and variability. The findings highlight the role of learning curve, task complexity, and user experience in AR adoption, and demonstrate the potential of integrating AR and AI to support assembly tasks in DIY furniture and bigger scales.

本研究招募48名参与者开展用户测试，结果显示：尽管所有参与者此前均未接触过家具组装类增强现实（Augmented Reality, AR）教程，但均顺利完成了全部测试任务。两类设备对应的组装流程均获得了较高的用户接受度，用户同意率均超过70%。其中，平板电脑用户的组装耗时更短且一致性更强；而头戴式显示器（Head-Mounted Display, HMD）用户的组装精度更高，但反馈不适感更强且操作波动性更大。本研究结果凸显了学习曲线、任务复杂度与用户体验在AR技术推广应用中的重要作用，并证实了将AR与人工智能（Artificial Intelligence, AI）相集成，可为DIY（Do It Yourself）家具乃至更大规模场景下的组装任务提供支持的应用潜力。
