Lifeboat Tech AR
The training and repair industry is about to experience a major shift in information delivery systems, with a new generation of augmented reality software applications. As the next advance in computer interface design, augmented reality represents a major step forward from virtual reality. 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 have 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. Lifeboat Technician AR can be used by the lifeboat technician training industry to guide technicians and trainees through the process of inspecting and repairing lifeboats in an augmented reality context.
Need
The lifeboat technician industry is in worldwide demand, with internationally enforced standards for safety compliance and certification. Because there has been an increase in issues regarding lifeboat safety and related launching equipment, certified training ensures that all repairs are made in a safe context, and that the results have been duly checked prior to reuse. Technicians are trained in lifeboat technician repair technical programs, and Lifeboat Technician AR can be used by the training industry to interactively detail the steps required for routine inspections, maintenance, and troubleshooting, and to offer guided AR instructions for all types of lifeboat procedures.
Benefit
Lifeboat Technician AR has the potential to offer a highly efficient method to carry out detailed lifeboat inspections and repairs, and to be used as a comprehensive training and repair platform for the Lifeboat Technician repair training industry. By employing the dynamic and immersive properties of augmented reality, Lifeboat Technician AR will be able to accelerate training and certification with safety measures approved by the Lifeboat Technician industry.
Concept
Lifeboat Technician AR can be developed to train prospective technicians and to guide technicians out in the field. Maintaining the highest standards for safety will be a top software development priority, and the application will be used in accordance with international lifeboat safety standards. Augmented reality provides precisely delivered instructions to prevent safety issues and to ensure that technicians stay on track. Lifeboat Technician AR will allow users to examine the lifeboat with a smartphone or tablet. The application will detect the specific type of lifeboat and its associated equipment requirements, guide a user in the steps of making an inspection, and provide operational graphics such as arrows and vectors for real time dynamic instruction.
Lifeboat Technician AR will also be able to offer guided instructions for launching procedures. For example, Lifeboat Technician AR can be used orient trainees on an actual deck and take them through each step of the launch. Virtual markers will appear within the camera view and take them to the first check point. Voice or floating text labels will instruct a user to remove the lashing wire. Now that the lifeboat has been detached from the launching equipment, it is free to move. The trainee will then be guided to inspect the painter. The user will be dynamically instructed to adjust the length of the painter. Lifeboat Technician AR will then take the trainee to the next step; operational graphics will indicate how to hold the stop handle down. The davit arm stop handle is now controllable, and the trainee will be instructed to climb the ladder and board the lifeboat. The application can guide the user through each of the inspection steps in turn prior to the launch. Placing detailed step-by-step service instructions in an augmented reality format allows Lifeboat Technician AR to ensure best practices and enforce safety standards.
