Augmented Reality

Imagine a world where relevant information is pervasively materialized in an immersive 3D world that coexists with your reality. That is the promise of Augmented Reality (AR), and in this mission, we sought to show how this can transform an industrial ecosystem. The mission started with the idea that by blending AR with computer vision and machine learning, a system could be developed where you could continuously learn an industrial process from observation, and then use the learning to give real-time validation and feedback in AR. This enables capturing and sharing of tribal knowledge, as well as allows the possibility of gig economy for industrial workers.

Though the mission started there, it was a wild and twisty ride of exploration throughout the year culminating in a demonstration fusing augmented and virtual reality. This is a re-imagination of teleportation where both collocated and remote peers can meet and collaborate in 3D.
