We’ve seen a number of unique mashups of augmented reality with other bleeding edge technologies, but somehow it took until 2018 for someone to come up with a now obvious complement to AR: 3D printing.
Cornell information science doctoral student Huaishu Peng has developed an experimental technique that allows him to use AR to modify a 3D printing structure while it’s being fabricated by a robotic arm. He calls the system the Robotic Modeling Assistant (RoMA).
“Instead of designing 3D models on the computer screen, we wanted to give users the opportunity to work in conjunction with the robot… more
