Christopher Morse and the team at SHOP used Fologram to automatically detect robotically cut parts and assemble a complex reciprocal frame structure at a workshop during the 2019 ACADIA Conference. The similarity of the struts and the wide tolerances in the booleaned joints meant that mixed reality was a useful tool for ensuring that parts were all located in the correct sequence and eliminated the possibility of introducing accumulative error from incorrect part type or orientation. By fixing Aruco markers to each piece of stock material before it was cut, Chris effectively created a part tracking system that also eliminated the need for sequential assembly, allowing anyone to simply pick up a part and be shown where that particular part needed to be installed.
