Overview
Program-Ace built an AR app that lets operators and repair technicians visualize the inner mechanics of an industrial liquid heater in real time, using marker-based tracking to overlay a detailed 3D model directly onto the physical equipment.
The challenge
Industrial heater internals are hidden inside the housing, so training and repair rely on diagrams that do not match what a technician sees on site. The app had to align a precise 3D model to the real unit and track it reliably on standard tablets and phones in the field.
The solution
Program-Ace built marker-based AR that maps the model onto the real heater.
Marker-based tracking anchored to the physical heater.
A detailed 3D model of the internal mechanics.
Real-time visualization of how the unit works inside.
Deployment across iPad, iPhone, and Android tablets.
Technology and approach
How we built it
Built in Unity with Vuforia for marker tracking, the app recognizes the heater, locks a detailed 3D model to it, and reveals the inner mechanics in place, so a technician points a tablet at the real equipment and sees through the housing rather than cross-referencing a manual.
