Nowadays, hydraulic excavator is used in some remote control applications. Specially, user operates the manipulator and the excavator movement so it requires a large of complex actions. Besides, vision system has an important role to help the user observe the environment of the excavator. Pan/Tilt camera is often used to record the image and transmitted to the monitor of the control center. This study present the development of augmented reality vision for user in remote control of hydraulic excavator using Head Tracker system. The main purpose is applying the Head-Mounted Display that integrated the Inertial Measurement Unit and Magnetic sensor to determine the orientation and position of the user"s head. This motion is transmitter to the pan/tilt servo motor to adapt the movement of the operator"s head. At first, the algorithm of the motion tracking system is described. Second, the hardware configuration are presented and explain their function.
