How has AR changed the interface of engineering?

March 06, 2020

AR, the far-reaching technology, has gained an increasing amount of attention over recent years. In this blog, K.K. Wagh takes you to the intriguing world of AR that is changing the game of engineering. It’s application spans across the industries of architecture, commerce, beauty, military and geographic information systems (GUIs). Here are some of the engineering applications of augmented reality used today.
  1. Next-Level Gaming: Engineering industries are using VR (Virtual Reality) in various gaming applications. VR enables games to feel like a real 3D physical environment that can interact with other players throughout the game. With the VR concept making a footprint on industrial applications, there is an opportunity to integrate VR with real-life experiences to create AR. This creates an improved reality where the graphics and visuals where the graphics and visuals can not only be seen on smartphones but also in the real physical world. Nintendo’s Pokemon Go integrates the game as a layer on top of your actual geographical locations for a fully interactive experience.
  2. Assembly, like never before: AR is massively used in manufacturing assembly. For instance, Boeing, the world’s leading commercial aircraft maker, reported that the adaption of AR has saved the company about 25% of wiring time. It also helped them lower the error rates to nearly zero. The use of AR solutions provides assembly engineering with instant directions and voice guidance so that they can stay connected during the assembly process.
  3. AR creating infinite possibilities in medical training: AR’s application in medical training ranges from MRI equipment use to performing highly delicate surgeries. Students are taught the ins and outs of anatomy using AR headsets. AR technology lets the students delve into the human body without the need for watching live operations. It also has applications during operations which puts an end to the need for more invasive cameras and probes.
The future applications of AR are likely to be limited by our collective imagination only. From interactive weather reports to helping fighter pilots find their targets, AR has proven itself as a powerful upcoming aid for the engineering industry and the general public at large. With this seamless technology, our future in terms of technology is definitely in safe hands. For more informative and tech-related blogs, stay tuned to our blog. Until next time!
