Augmented Reality for Maintenance and Inspection
Enhancing transportation inspections through augmented reality.
Project Overview
The Problem
The inspection of aircraft is a constant and critical part of commercial aviation operations.
To ensure accuracy and continuity in equipment inspections, inspectors rely on written records and photographs of an aircraft generated by previous inspectors. Damage and repairs are often manually mapped by aircraft mechanics and technicians, and information must be double or triple-checked to ensure location accuracy.

"When the price of technology comes down, you'll be able to walk around a rental car or a broken lawnmower with an iPad or AR smart glasses and look for defects. Without the Superclusters involvement, it would have been much more difficult to connect with the machine learning and vision researchers at SFU and the world leaders in synthetic imagery at Unity."
