Fabrication with AR reinvigorates traditional craftsmanship by augmenting hand and material skills with the precision and formal possibilities of digital modeling. Curved Notion provides dynamic design assistance allowing users to adjust design results and fabricate with precision. It occupies the territory between purely automated, exclusively robotically-driven fabrication and highly crafted processes requiring human labor.
Technology deployment for industrial fabrication requires not only user behavior studies but also fabrication workflow consistency and material compatibility. In this design challenge, our team was exploring the design in both human-computer interaction and custom furniture when AR technology gets involved in the process.
During iteration process, designers keep revising the form and evaluate if wood stripes can be shaped desirably.

Designers need to evaluate if the design measurement is reasonable and how the product would be like in the real environment.

The detail connections of the wood-bending technique vary from joint to joint. It requires craftman to adjust brackets and drill holes restrictly following the design insturctions.

The Mixed Reality Headset is tailor-made to suit the requirements of the modern day manufacturing facilities. Basically, it will help them to streamline their production framework and take their manufacturing capacity to greater heights.
The design preview feature allows users to obeserve and evaluate their furniture design in the real environment. Multiple users can join, collarborate, and interact to provide more feedback.
Customized AR interactions and interfaces to provide convenience and improve the precision of fabrication tools and techniques.
Practical design in virtual content visualization and user interface signifiers dynamically follow along the development process.
It's improtant to suggest the correct arrangement. Desige to visualize the order of the wood stripe sequence to achieve the easiest installation.
Revealing bracket connections with proper instructions accelerate the fabrication progress.
The augmented reality supports with mobile device are able to add another layer of convience to the wood-bending fabrication technique. It's more accessible and understandable.
All screen-based devices have their strength and weaknesses. We design to support tablet devices to maximize virtual content visualization and mobile devices to bring convient involvement.
With shared mesh files, users can adjust variables to directly change and preview the design outcomes.
Support real-time previews to make the final design decision.
Mobile application is capable of presenting and collaboratively assisting in the headset fabrication.
