About smartAR
Developed for companies who build large and complex scale prototypes where the goal is to reduce the number or variations of prototypes produced. smartAR™ augments a digital twin over top a live camera feed of a real world, physical object, maintaining scale, placement and position of the CAD model relative to the object. A tablet is used to view the digital twin but the tablet’s position and orientation is monitored by an external motion tracking system. Tracking the tablet enables very high precision when overlaying a digital twin on a real world object. As the user moves around the physical object, virtual images on the tablet remain fixed relative to the object. Virtual data can be ‘snapped to position’ on the real world object with accuracy better than 3 millimeters in most stationary views. Mechdyne’s TGX software is used to access high resolution CAD data from a central workstation/servers to minimize latency on the tablet.
