VR Design / AR Assembly
Katrina Tyler
’s "Flourish" sculpture became a pioneering case study in digital prototyping for fabrication, leveraging VR (Hololens) to streamline assembly under strict safety constraints (hand entrapment/climbability gaps).
Key Innovations:
Why It Worked: A perfect marriage of artistic complexity and industrial pragmatism—proving XR’s value in bridging design intent and physical execution.
(Future potential: Scaling AR workflows for large-team fabrication or modular construction.)

Key Innovations:
- VR Spatial Planning: Replaced tedious on-screen placement with real-scale, immersive module arrangement.
- AR-Assisted Fabrication: Trained workshop staff to use Hololens for real-world assembly guidance and tack welding, reducing dependency on 2D drawings.
- Efficiency Gains: Eliminated hours of manual measurement checks, despite initial device troubleshooting.
