AR Tool Design for Lawrence Livermore National Lab
Jan 2025 - May 2025
Project Description
Volunteer Research Assistant through the 3D Interaction Group at Virginia Tech
Sponsored by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, this project explored how Augmented Reality could support scientists in inspection tasks. Collaborating with a PhD student, we brainstormed and prototyped an AR inspection tool, tested potential user needs, and designed a system that connected the headset to a web dashboard for reporting and visualizing imperfections
My Role
As a research assistant for this project, I
-
Developed a Unity-based AR inspection tool enabling real-time 3D defect visualization and annotation.
-
Integrated GET/POST requests via Postman to support bi-directional communication between HoloLens headset and web dashboard.
-
Implemented device synchronization logic for object state updates and rotation alignment across connected clients.
Tools Used: Unity Hub, Postman, Docker
