Opportunity
The intern/co-op/student will support the development of
both Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) tools to enhance product
development and training. The AR project centers on an interactive modeling
tool that overlays color mapping on a physical plaster model or mold,
indicating dimensional variance between CAD and physical models. This tool will
enable precise real-time adjustments to CAD files, aimed at improving accuracy,
reducing development time, and lowering the skill threshold for such tasks.
The VR project involves creating a VR training application
for Kohler associates, using Unity software to develop immersive, hands-on
training modules on Meta Quest headsets. The intern will contribute to
research, design, and technical support across both AR and VR initiatives. The
role requires collaboration with a multi-disciplinary engineering team,
including software, mechanical, and electrical engineers.
