  abstract = {We present design principles for creating effective assembly
              instructions and a system that is based on these principles. The
              principles are drawn from cognitive psychology research which
              investigated a person's conceptual models of assembly and
              effective methods to visually communicate assembly information.
              Our system is inspired by earlier work in robotics on assembly
              planning and in visualization on automated presentation design.
              Although other systems have considered presentation and planning
              independently, we believe it is necessary to address the two
              problems simultaneously in order to create effective assembly
              instructions. We describe the algorithmic techniques used to
              produce assembly instructions given object geometry, orientation,
              and optional grouping and ordering constraints on the object's
              parts. Our results demonstrate that it is possible to produce
              aesthetically pleasing instructions for everyday objects that are
              easy to follow.},
