Our real-world applications are the driving future of transportation. Advanced technologies like XR and digital twins are redefining transportation by creating efficiencies in on-the-job training, repair, maintenance, safety testing and quality assurance. Our solutions enable organizations to create immersive interactive training experiences that accelerate learning, productivity and safety. XR overlays simplify complex diagnostic and calibration procedures, eliminating errors and reducing vehicle downtime.

Use Case

The Rolls-Royce Power Systems engine control system is used across thousands of yachts and ships, necessitating extensive training for complex repairs. Traditionally, this process required ships to be brought ashore, and senior technicians flown in to perform maintenance, with the risk of incorrect repairs resulting in costly damages, up to $50,000. To address this resource-intensive approach, AVATAR developed an Augmented Reality (AR) solution for the HoloLens, offering two modes: On-Site Repair Mode, which overlays step-by-step instructions directly onto the engine, guiding the technician through a real-time repair, and Off-Site Training Mode, featuring a life-sized 3D digital twin for procedure practice. Additionally, the solution integrates 3D Remote Assistance (XRremote) for remote collaboration. This AR system enabled a technician with just two months of experience, who had never seen the engine control system before, to successfully perform complex maintenance tasks typically handled by a senior engineer. The solution streamlines maintenance, reducing downtime and reliance on senior personnel while ensuring high-quality repairs.

Use Case

The General Dynamics / American Rheinmetall XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle is a hybrid electric vehicle that can be operated with or without a crew onboard. AVATAR worked with the OEM to create AR experiences for tank maintenance, operations training, and mission planning. The immersive training experiences includes mastering maintenance procedures, operating the vehicle with realistic joystick controls, and enabling operators to practice tactically deploying the vehicle alongside other assets such as drones and ground personnel. 

Use Case

Ship Stability Training is a critical requirement across all maritime sectors to ensure that vessels operate safely under various conditions. Traditional training methods involve extensive time and resources, often requiring several years for inspectors to gain hands-on experience with different vessel types. To address these challenges, AVATAR developed a Simplified Ship Stability Training using digital twin AR/VR solution integrated with a complex physic engine, allowing inspectors to interact with virtual vessels in realistic 3D environments. This system enables trainees to practice stability assessments on a wide range of vessel configurations—something that would be impractical in real-world scenarios due to limited access to different ships. With AR and real-world physics simulation, users can observe how factors like passenger load and center of gravity impact ship stability, all within a dynamic and interactive digital platform. By automating complex calculations and offering real-time feedback, the solution reduces the time needed for training from the traditional three years to one year. This on-the-job tool not only enhances training efficiency but also improves the accuracy and effectiveness of shipboard safety inspections, offering inspectors unparalleled opportunities for practice and mastery.
