The Cornell Tech research team processes the lack of technical support for the various end user’s options, using a tool that is developed that makes 3D models via a mobile device.
The tool, called Splatoverflow, aims to use offers to make devices problems easier to identify and diagnose them. It depends on the tool called Stackoveflow, which performs an identical function of software problems.
The team said in its research: “As tools for design and manufacturing devices become easier, smaller producers can develop and distribute new devices. However, processes to support exploration of final device errors or routine maintenance are not well defined. As a result, providing technical support to devices remains allocated and has a wide challenge.”
Splatoverflow is a girls ’ideas Astantan CattaPhD, Fellow of Information Sciences at Cornell Tech. The search was directed by Thijs Roumen, Assistant Professor at Cornell Tech. The research was conducted on the issue of Tech Lab.
What Splatoverflow is doing is the setting of the end information information, documents and discussions, in one place, which makes it easier for people who may not have experience in devices Cornell Cronic.
The tool first creates a 3D model for the device that needs to explore and repair errors, with information about the included model. This allows the specialist and the user to display the scene together to determine the problem. Lt. Two parts – 3D gousi include a 3D display of the device that needs to explore and repair errors; And the design of the computer assistance (CAD), for additional information.
Splatoverflow allows experts to compare Splat 3D Gaussian with a CAD model, for a clearer idea about design and original function. Users who report a problem from a remote referring to a virtual three -dimensional model can believe that the problem arises.
In them researchThe team showed Splatoverflow problems to explore and repair errors on different devices, including the selection machine and location, a 3D printer, and an open source electronic reader.
Romane noticed that the team is looking at Splatoverflow used in many cases of use, such as the sanitation of the machine, maintenance in agriculture, and education, among other things – also indicating that the tool is available to others to develop it in other contexts.
He said: “We are pleased to explore the long -term publishing, to see how we can develop this gradually to a real open source platform to support the devices.”
Splatoverflow will be presented and research at the Chi Computing Machinery conference on April 30, in Yokohama, Japan.
