Hot Tub Tech AR
With the advent of augmented reality software applications, the training and repair industry is about to experience a major shift in information delivery. Augmented reality represents the next advance in computer interface design. By using a camera as the source of the interface, augmented reality has the ability to integrate virtual reality into a user's real world environment. With dynamic and responsive virtual elements seamlessly integrated into a user's perspective, AR applications can provide a new level of customized instructions and precisely guided training.
Apple and Android have recently launched their AR development platforms, named ARKit and ARCore respectively, making it possible for anyone with a smartphone or tablet to access to augmented reality applications. As a full-service interactive multimedia company with a specific focus on the design and development of augmented reality applications, Augmented RealiTease has responded to the advent of ARKit and ARCore with a set of advanced AR concepts with direct potential for development and implementation. Hot Tub Technician AR can be used by the spa repair industry to guide technicians and trainees through the process of inspecting and repairing hot tubs and spa equipment in an augmented reality format.
Need
Because the servicing of hot tubs and other types of spa equipment require the integration of electrical and plumbing systems, certified training ensures that repairs are made in a safe context, and that the repair results have been duly checked prior to use after repairs. Technicians are trained in certified hot tub technician repair technical programs, and Hot Tub Technician AR can be used by the training industry to interactively detail the steps required for routine maintenance and troubleshooting, and to offer guided AR instructions for all types of hot tub repair procedures.
Benefit
Hot Tub Technician AR has the potential to offer a highly efficient method to carry out detailed hot tub repairs, and to be used as a comprehensive training and repair platform for the certified hot tub technician repair industry. By employing the dynamic and immersive properties of augmented reality, Hot Tub Technician AR will be able to accelerate training and certification with safety measures approved by the certified hot tub technician industry.
Concept
Hot Tub Technician AR can be developed to train prospective technicians, guide technicians out in the field, or as part of a public safety application for home users. In each case maintaining the highest standards for safety will be a top software development priority. Augmented reality excels in this context, where precisely delivered instructions can prevent safety issues and ensure that technicians stay on track. Hot Tub Technician AR will allow users to examine the hot tub components with a smartphone or tablet. The application will detect the specific make and model, guide a user in the steps of making a safe repair, and provide operational graphics such as arrows and vectors for real-time dynamic instruction.
Repair procedures can be detailed with floating text captions that cover the main issues associated with hot tub repairs. For example, when the GFCI breaker for the hot tub trips, Hot Tub Technician AR can be used to diagnose the problem. Using a smartphone or a tablet, the user will be guided to inspect the control pack and the condition of the heater unit. The application will help detect the blower and instruct the user to unplug it first, with a first check to the breaker. The ozonater can then be checked, and each component will be checked in turn to see which element is causing the breaker to trip, and to ascertain whether the heating unit must be replaced. Placing detailed step-by-step service instructions in an augmented reality format allows Hot Tub Technician AR to ensure best practices and enforce safety standards.
