    Head mounted display (HMD) glasses applying augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR), which are technologies for superimposing and displaying virtual information over real space, have been put into practical use in various fields in recent years. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. (MHI) is also working to improve the efficiency and quality of field work by developing technologies to superimpose and display 3D models of large components or structures of aircraft, ships, plants, etc. with high accuracy, and user interface technologies that can be used for on-site work by using Microsoft Corporation's MR glasses "HoloLens 2". This report introduces examples of our efforts in aircraft fuselage panel assembly work and marking work for boiler installation.
