ARANZ Geo Introduces Support for Augmented Reality Views

Data visualization frequently contributes to improved collaboration among team members and better, more informed decision making. In mining, there are field geologists who need to communicate strategies and options with resource geologists and both need to share their recommendations with mine operators but the tools they use have been designed for use in an office on a graphics-accelerated computer with access to large 3D models and databases.

Geological modelling software publisher ARANZ Geo announced that it has begun testing a new feature of its 3D package, Leapfrog, to bring the data closer to the mining site, in and over the pits.

Using the newly introduced Augmented Reality-assisted Leapfrog features allows geological models to be superimposed over a pit or an underground operation to give a big picture view of the geology in a manner that can be readily understood by multiple audiences. Field testing with selected partners will provide input into future releases with Augmented Reality features.
