Augview develops and markets an Augmented Reality GIS product, to assist field workers within the utility, telco and local government markets, design, capture, maintain and comprehend underground infrastructure. AR provides users the experience of mixing the real world with the digital world. With current technologies (tablets and smartphones), that means overlaying a virtual scene over the live video stream provided by the device’s rear-facing camera.
The Augview application allows users to gain deeper comprehension of the location of underground networks, faster whilst on site. The application acts as a data integration tool bringing together data from disparate servers and presenting it in a consistent comprehensible form. This leads to reduced collateral damage and reduced H&S risk. The real-time data capture and maintenance functions result in improved data quality, improved data timeliness, improved operator efficiency and elimination of back office functions.
