Client’s request
Konica Minolta AIRe Lens brings hands-free augmented reality (AR) to industrial manufacturing, significantly simplifying tasks. The product is primarily used by companies seeking a reliable system for step-by-step guidance and remote assistance via AR technology. Initially, the client needed to take over and rewrite an unfinished software solution from Japan. We had to inherit the project along with original Japanese comments, and often, the source code was missing entirely.
Solution
We took over the original solution, thoroughly studied it, and rebuilt it using more modern technologies, ensuring easy customization and further development. Our solution included the design and development of software (server and web client), services (platform for updating and centrally managing content), and out-of-the-box applications primarily used in the manufacturing sector. In addition to step-by-step guidance and remote support, AIRe Lens features an accelerometer for head movement control, the ability to record and share videos, audio, and photos.
Interesting aspects and challenges
AIRe Lens is a completely unique product, so the development process demanded a high level of attention to even the most specific client requirements. Our rapid response to customer feedback, particularly from users in the field who regularly proposed new ideas, was crucial. The support for this specialized hardware also played a key role in ensuring the product’s success.
