Next, environmental images arc captured and a processor then compares the detected images against the reference standard and provides feedback to the user in the form of output that reflects compliance with the standard or a deviation from the standard. The feedback is provided, inter alia on a display panel so that the user can either confirm that the assembly is in conformance with the standard or see a graphical representation of how the assembly deviates from the standard. The present invention may be used as a teaching and instructional device, can be used as device to ensure quality control during manufacturing or assembly operations and may be used as an amusement device.
