Abstract
A process planning apparatus based on augmented reality includes: a camera set capturing visible light data and depth data of a processing machine and a probe operated by a user in a real scene to obtain scene data; a processor signal, which is connected to the camera set and the processing machine, determines instruction data corresponding to multiple positions of the probe according to a virtual workpiece and the scene data, and generate guide data according to the instruction data to guide the user to operate the probe to generate processing data; and an output interface, which is signal connected to the processor and outputs the scene data, the virtual workpiece and the guide data to the user for reference.
