I didn't understand where the AR was overlaid. Was it on the glasses on which the operator was wearing or on a LED monitor ?

- otoburb 9y agoFTA: "Furthermore, we decided that we would require a setup that actually worked. Given that we did not have any AR hardware available (eg AR glasses such as a Microsoft Hololens), we quickly built one ourselves using a production helmet and a webcam." Medium images sometimes take a while to load, but if you wait you can see their "webcam on a hard-hat helmet" setup for the demonstration to the judges. The overlaid AR + video feed then shows up on a monitor.
- mring33621 9y agoThey did not have VR glasses, so they simulated them using a helmet-mounted webcam and a monitor. The AR weld risk profile (my words) is overlaid on the captured video images. See the article's video with caption 'Screen-capture of the AR experience...'
- AndrewKemendo 9y agoNowhere, it wasn't actually AR. It was a video feed that had the 3D model overlayed on the desktop/laptop the video was feeding from. This isn't just semantics - moving from their setup to an actual AR HMD - even if it was just the current state of the art (Hololens, ODG, Epson etc...) wouldn't be trivial and would likely be a different workflow.
