A NOVEL APPROACH TO AR & ROBOTICS: BEHIND THE SCENES OF AN INTERACTIVE EXPLORATION OF A FUTURISTIC ARCHITECTURE
MOL Group, a leading global oil and gas corporation based in Budapest, Hungary, has been steering the industry for over a century. With an impressive international footprint in more than 30 countries and a robust, dynamic workforce of 25,000 professionals, MOL Group is a testament to excellence and innovation.
We were tasked with creating an immersive, hands-on experience that would enable public to discover the sustainable features of the building through an novel AR approach.
To thoroughly refine the experience and avoid all potential problems on site, we built a replica of the setup in our office.
Working on this replica enabled us to do detailed testing and experimentation. In example, we tested various interaction methodologies to control the robot and we user tested these different methodologies to ensure an intuitive and user-friendly experience.
Extensive tooling was developed to simplify the installation process and facilitate seamless setup and user interaction at the MOL Campus.
Navigating through challenges such as establishing real-time interaction between users, robotic arms, ensuring system stability and avoiding technical glitches, while also creating a platform that is not only functional but provides a smooth and captivating user experience, were some of the main roadblocks encountered and overcome during the project.
Because this installation is at a publicly available area, we made sure to provide a seamless and uninterrupted experience even though the camera captures multiple bodies. This meant we had to build a bespoke algorithm to identify and continuously track the intended main user.
The second challenge lay in ensuring optimal performance. Manipulating tens of thousands of points to deliver a smooth, high-fidelity experience at 60 frames per second was no small feat. We tackled this hurdle by harnessing the power of Unity 3D's Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS) and Burst Compiler. These technologies enabled us to significantly enhance performance, allowing for efficient, high-speed processing.
Conquering these roadblocks wasn't easy, but our dedication to quality and commitment to delivering an exceptional user experience enabled us to create a masterpiece that embodies MOL Group's commitment to clean energy transformation.
