LogAR
Drill core logging is dominated by traditional practices such as pen and paper logs and cumbersome spreadsheets. Critical contextual information is often buried in databases and printouts that are rarely referred to. Logging standards can vary between organisations and individuals leading to inconsistencies in data output and poor archiving practices, and valuable time is burned on data entry and conversion.
LogAR is a multiplatform application that enables borehole logs and supporting datasets to be seamlessly created and visualised in-situ using augmented reality. Our aim is to improve logging efficiency and accuracy by going beyond simply observational insights to using all available borehole datasets to inform decision-making.
Features:
- Visualise borehole log data where it’s needed: in-situ against physical core trays using augmented-reality, or with traditional 2D and 3D plots.
- Unlock valuable contextual information with datasets and core imagery accessed from the National Virtual Core Library (NVCL), or by importing custom user data.
- Reduce human-error and improve efficiency by using AR tools to intuitively place, tweak and visualise log boundaries and annotations directly on top of core trays.
- Projects linked to user accounts enable multiuser workflows for creating and outputting logging data.
- Leverage Data Mosaic integration to create and modify multiscale geological datasets directly referenced against real core trays.
