Trian Repair AR
Augmented reality software applications are beginning to have an impact on software and industry, and new developments are bound to accelerate the process. Apple and Android have recently released 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. Augmented reality differs from virtual reality in significant ways. While virtual reality is a purely simulated experience, augmented reality is an interface that combines virtual elements with a camera perspective for a unique integration of computer data dynamically linked to real elements in one's environment.
Augmented RealiTease is a leading developer of cutting-edge software applications, and the company produced its first AR project in 2009. The introduction of ARKit and ARCore has prompted Augmented RealiTease to respond with a set of new AR concepts that have immediate potential for development and implementation. Train Repair AR can be used by the rail industry to guide technicians and trainees through the complex process of repairing trains in an augmented reality context.
Need
Professional training programs for train mechanics are available across the country, and Train Repair AR will be able to incorporate the curriculum into a dynamic and interactive training platform for prospective mechanics, as well as a useful guide for seasoned professionals out in the field. Train Repair AR will be able to dynamically identify components, scan assemblies for diagnosis, and enable workers to address problems more quickly and with less guesswork. Augmented reality excels in focused instruction delivered in real time, and Train Repair AR addresses the need for precise and timely train repairs in the effort to maintain an efficient infrastructure.
Benefit
Train Repair AR will provide a highly effective platform for the development of AR instructions for the locomotive industry, and ultimately be incorporated into engine assembly training for universities and technical colleges throughout the nation. Train Repair AR is one example among many where the dynamic and immersive properties of augmented reality can achieve an accelerated learning curve for developing vital machine knowledge and repair proficiency.
Concept
Train Repair AR will be designed in coordination with existing professional training curricula, and could even be customized for a particular institution. Good train repair services involve the ability to inspect, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair locomotive equipment, both in the shop and on site. Users will access Train Repair AR on their smartphone or tablet. On-site inspections allow users to scan the equipment. Floating text captions will identify assemblies and individual components. Spot temperature readings will allow for thermal diagnostics, and operational graphics such as rotational and directional vectors will indicate how to address immediate issues. With more detailed root cause analysis procedures in the machine shop, Train Repair AR can be used to review a layout of disassembled components and repair tools. Floating text will identify components and guide users through the component inspection, replacement, and assembly process with graphics for a step-by-step repair procedure. Dynamic information layered over components in a camera view offer an ideal way to accelerate training and enforce industry standards.
