FabStation Outside-in Tracking

This research project will explore how to make augmented reality (AR) tools more accurate and easier to use in steel fabrication workshops. The intern will work with Eterio Realities Inc., a Canadian company that created FabStation. This AR system helps workers see 3D digital models overlaid on steel parts to guide their work. Currently, FabStation uses tracking, which sometimes becomes inaccurate in large or busy environments. To fix this, the intern will test a different tracking system that uses external cameras to understand the position of tools and devices better. The intern will compare how well this system works and try connecting it to the existing FabStation platform. By the end of the project, a working prototype will be built to show the improved accuracy on devices like tablets. This will help Eterio make FabStation more reliable, cost-effective, and easier to use in actual factories, allowing the company to reach more customers and stay ahead in the AR technology market.
