PTInov

This project was funded by PT Inovação e Sistemas which is a technology company of Portugal Telecom Group, focused on the development of innovative products and services, as well as on the integration of systems in the Telco and IT markets. A typical technical intervention on a telecommunication network infrastructure can involve complex scenarios involving a large number of equipments and connections. The technician is very often confronted with difficulties to identify the exact place where the intervention should take place. This difficulties can lead to errors, which can cause service disruption and delays in technical interventions. The goal of this applied project is the implementation of augmented reality tools that could help the technician in his intervention tasks by allowing the following: - Visual identification of equipments using a mobile device video camera, taking into account the location of the installation and a record of available equipments; - Overlaying contextual information about the equipment (i.e. manual, connection diagrams, etc); - Automatic Identification of each panels led state and connecters use.
