Augmented-reality-assisted timber drilling with smart retrofitted tools

An ordinary electric drill was integrated into a context-aware augmented reality (AR) framework to assist in timber-drilling tasks. This study is preliminary evaluation detail technical challenges, potential bottlenecks, and accuracy of the proposed object- tool-aware AR-assisted fabrication systems. In designed workflow, computer vision tools sensors are used implement an inside-out tracking technique for retrofitted drills based on reverse engineering approach. The approach allows workers perform complex drilling angle operations according computer-processed feedback instead drawing, marking, or jigs. First, developed methodology presented, its various devices functioning phases were detailed. Second, this first proof concept evaluated by experimentally scanning produced drillings comparing discrepancies with their respective three-dimensional execution models. outlined improvements process clarified role carpentry digital landscape.
