As one of the pillars of Industry 4.0 Augmented Reality (AR) has the potential of improving
workspaces and different processes efficiency. Nevertheless AR is still not in real
implementation. This dissertation presents a new approach for developing interactive AR
applications by providing a novel framework with a redesign of the way AR is implemented. The
solution is based on enabling AR to operate within the cloud converting all AR devices into
thin-clients with low-performance requirements.
