NGRAIN Iris is a free app for the iPad that lets you deploy industrial augmented reality and interactive 3D content created with NGRAIN software. The iPad becomes an aid that provides on-the-job support for workers who need to monitor, maintain, or operate complex equipment.
Using this app, you can pull up vital information about a piece of equipment as you work with it:
- Tap on individual parts to get more information such as part specs, stock levels, and field notes
- Get step-by-step guidance that walks you through complex procedures such as how to disassemble or re-assemble the equipment
With NGRAIN Iris, all of this information is immediately available when it’s needed most. In “live” AR mode, you just point your iPad at a piece of equipment to overlay relevant digital information right on top of it. In “virtual” 3D mode, you can interact with the same content even if you’re not in front of the equipment or conditions don’t permit you to use AR.
Content for use with NGRAIN Iris is created in a companion software product called NGRAIN Vergence, which allows you to author augmented reality and interactive 3D content without writing any code. To learn more about NGRAIN Vergence, visit www.ngrain.com/products/vergence.
