As
you’ll hear in this video,
the fastCHECK surface inspection system isn’t exactly novel. As
others before them, it uses structured light to illuminate a scene
and acquire depth data. But what is rather cool is the augmented
reality method of showing a technician where a problem exists.
fastCHECK
comes from Colarado-based startup 8tree.
Initially they’re going after the big rivet application market that
is aerospace, and when that’s been conquered the auto industry is
next. (Just don’t tell Perceptron.)
If
you take the time to read the data sheet you’ll see some bold
claims for accuracy and resolution. Bold because I think it depends
on the surface being viewed and the prevailing conditions, but then
there’s nothing wrong with being ambitious.
Meanwhile,
it’s got me thinking about using augmented reality in more mundane
inspection tasks. Anyone have any ideas?
