<p>Interactive assembly instructions are generated and displayed from existing text material, including drawings, using apparatus that comprises a plurality of locations of source material (12), a retrieval and generating tool (14), a display or viewing mechanism and a user interface (16). The retrieval and generating tool takes data from the plurality of source material such as text-based manuals, parts catalogues, digital pictures and models as its input, and produces electronic instructions that start with an animated, interactive, visualization of the assembly described in the text manual. A viewing mechanism in conjunction with the user interface (16) supports the user in viewing the sequence. <IMAGE></p> |
