Solar Tech AR
Augmented reality software applications are being developed that are bound to have a significant impact on the training and repair industry. As the next advance in computer interface design, augmented reality uses a camera as the source of its interface. This innovation makes it possible to insert virtual reality directly into a user's real world environment, with dynamically responsive virtual elements. The recent launch of Apple and Android's AR development platforms, named ARKit and ARCore respectively, makes it possible for anyone with a smartphone or tablet to access augmented reality applications.
Augmented RealiTease is a full-service interactive multimedia company with a specific focus on the design and development of augmented reality applications, and have responded to the advent of ARKit and ARCore with a set of advanced AR concepts with direct potential for training and certification. Solar Tech AR is a concept with the potential to be used by the solar tech and certification industry to guide technicians and trainees through the process of inspecting and repairing solar panels and associated equipment in an augmented reality context.
Need
Solar Tech is an industry that is rapidly gaining greater popularity, for homeowners, large industrial facilities, commercial properties, and educational institutions. The demand for certified technicians is also rising as a consequence, and Solar Tech AR offers the opportunity to use the immersive and interactive features of augmented reality to accelerate learning and to place training platforms into an effective instructional format that can be easily accessed on site. Technicians are currently trained in solar technical certification programs, and Solar Tech AR can be incorporated into the existing curriculum of a training program or be developed as a standalone in accordance with the training industry. Solar Tech AR will interactively detail the steps required for routine maintenance and troubleshooting, and offer customized AR instructions and precisely guided training for solar technicians nationwide.
Benefit
Solar Tech AR could use all of the features of augmented reality to accelerate training programs for prospective trainees nationwide. The prospect of a widely available app with an efficient method for teaching solar inspections and repairs makes Solar Tech AR an attractive and opportune concept for development, with the potential to provide a comprehensive training and repair platform for the solar tech industry.
Concept
Using the camera on a smartphone or tablet, trainees will access Solar Tech AR for an initial inspection. Solar Tech AR provides an efficient way for a technician to scan an existing solar power system onsite and quickly obtain specific make and model numbers for solar panels, components, and assemblies. Floating text labels caption components onscreen, and allow trainees to acquire detailed step-by-step service instructions through text, 3D markers, audio prompts, and other graphical information. The specs for panels will be dynamically labeled, and support graphics can appear whenever they're needed. In repair scenarios, specific tools are called out for a particular repair, and operational graphics such as arrows and vectors provide interactive, practical instruction in a hands-on context. For installation procedures, a trainee will be guided through the required steps to connect the solar inverter and the solar charge controller, the batteries and the DC connection box.
