Project VIPER is the joint development of an “AR manual” for engine assembly among ESA (European Space Agency), GE Aviation and Misterine. The aim of the project is to automate the creation of AR instructions based on CAD, technical data and other product data for use with the highly complex GE engine.
Misterine is developing an AR authoring tool as part of the project which provides a platform for automatic, semi-automatic and manual process creation including general structure, animation and human readable description. The authoring tool also provides an integrity check in case the input data has been altered. It works in the following manner: importing CAD data, analyzing the data for semantic information and enhancing it with additional domain-relevant information in order to automatically create industry manuals, processes and training protocols.
The AR manual created with this authoring tool can be played on many devices ranging from smart phones to smart glasses. Together with advanced image recognition and accurate spatial tracking, we are aiming to achieve higher efficiency and safety within industrial processes.
The project has just entered to its final stage, and is scheduled to be completed in 2020.
