Routine use of AR for industry 4.0 or digital twins
Fraunhofer IGD, Darmstadt
The latest versions of instant3Dhub and VisionLib can now be used to run cloud-based augmented reality applications (»software as a service«). This eliminates the need for time-consuming and often manual CAD data reduction, allowing the full potential of the native data to be utilized. Researchers at Fraunhofer IGD have made it possible to routinely use augmented reality for industry 4.0 or digital twins.
(Darmstadt) Two fundamental technologies from the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD will soon go hand in hand. Through the integration of the interactive 3D visualization platform instant3Dhub and the AR tracking technology VisionLib, it will be possible for the first time to run AR applications in a »software as a service« infrastructure in order to run computer-intensive algorithms in the cloud. The CAD data remains exclusively in the company’s infrastructure while only the data relevant to the current visualization is transmitted to mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, data glasses) in real time.
