Founded in 2015, Ascanio specializes in training solutions that use AR technology to go beyond traditional methods. Its vision is to offer cost-effective, scalable training solutions for companies, with applications across various sectors including military, engineering and education, to revolutionize learning experiences through innovative technologies and tailored solutions.
The challenge
Ascanio set out to build a training for the engine assembly and testing module for the Ford Mustang V8. With this module, the company wanted to improve mechanical engineering students' understanding of engine mechanics and boost their engagement with learning.
To offer its clients the best training experience, the smart glasses needed excellent graphics quality, with a resolution ensuring clarity and precision, coupled with accurate controls to enable seamless interaction and immersion for realistic simulation experiences.
The solution
Meeting these criteria, VR Expert offered Ascanio the Magic Leap 2, renowned for its state-of-the-art capabilities compared with other augmented reality glasses. With high processing power, the Magic Leap 2 delivers high performance and can display highly detailed modules with high-fidelity graphics and resolution. Moreover, the Magic Leap 2's precise detection of controller input makes the experience easy for users to navigate, overcoming the accuracy limitations of hand tracking alone.
Using the advanced features of the Magic Leap 2, the Ford Mustang V8 training module was able to deliver an immersive learning experience, allowing users to assemble and disassemble car engines with detailed interactivity. As a result, Ascanio's engine assembly and testing module for the Ford Mustang V8 stands as a pioneering educational tool tailored to engineers and university students. Providing hands-on learning opportunities with interactive 3D models, made possible by the Magic Leap 2, helps engineers understand complex engine assembly and troubleshooting procedures.
By combining the Magic Leap 2, whose AR technology enables detailed examination and manipulation of components, with the customized training solution developed by Ascanio, engineers can immerse themselves in AR training on the Ford Mustang V8 engine. While examining and manipulating the engine's components in detail in AR, users receive immediate visual and tactile feedback. The engine also simulates realistic faults so users can carry out diagnostic and corrective actions. The module's high-resolution graphics of 1440 x 1760 pixels per eye ensure precise component recognition, which is vital for effective learning and accurate assembly. With intuitive controls, users can manipulate engine parts with dexterity, honing practical engineering skills in augmented reality. Additionally, interactive troubleshooting features strengthen problem-solving skills, while seamless integration into engineering curricula supplements theoretical studies with practical application.
The Magic Leap 2 not only improves understanding of engine mechanics but also boosts learning engagement through realistic simulation experiences. Furthermore, the module's adaptability to different engines or vehicles extends its usefulness across various educational and training contexts, revolutionizing hands-on learning in engineering.
Using the Magic Leap 2 has enabled Ascanio's customers to bring more practice into theory by offering immersive, interactive and realistic simulations. The many possibilities offered by the Magic Leap 2 mean that a variety of modules can be created across a wide range of fields without any limitations.
