Augmented Reality (AR) and GIS Integration on a Mobile Platform

Argis Solutions’ patented and award-winning augmented reality (AR) application, the Argis® Lens, is already in use in a variety of industries to view underground locational data three-dimensionally directly at the worksite. It converts real spatial data from cloud based RESTful services into 3D rendered data around the user’s device. We propose extending this functional, patented, commercially viable, and tested product to include spatial location, geo-remote expert support, and 3D model integration into spatial location. The improved AR and geospatial integration would offer the ability to visualize underground facilities or vehicle maintenance more robustly, allow seamless editing capabilities within the geometry, and provide peer-to-peer expert advice, tracking and documentation that are relevant to the field’s day-to-day operation.    Argis Solutions’ patented and award-winning augmented reality (AR) application, the Argis® Lens, is already in use in a variety of industries to view underground locational data three-dimensionally directly at the worksite.
