AR Glasses Allow Yara Marine Technologies to Provide Remote Service
Augmented reality (AR) provides interactive access to vessel environments, like a shipâs engine room. With limited vessel access during COVID-19, Yara Marine Technologies implemented AR technology for virtual vessel access."We have been experimenting with AR glasses for some time. When the pandemic stopped our service engineers from boarding vessels, we had the alternative ready. With AR technology we have the visual field of the shipâs crew members on our monitors. While talking to the crew we can make markings, draw, and add text to the various engine parts they are looking at.
