I’m on the hunt for a project or tool that uses AR (Augmented Reality) to help optimize space, specifically for organizing items on shelves. Here’s the situation: I have a rack with two shelves and 15 boxes that I need to store. There are 6 different box sizes, and I need to figure out how to fit all 15 boxes on these two shelves in an organized way.
Has anyone come across a system or project that does something like this? For reference, I do a lot of 3D printing, and when I’m printing multiple items, there’s an option to automatically organize all the parts on the build space to make the most efficient use of space. I’m looking for something similar, but for physical storage.
I’m also open to teaming up with someone to develop this idea further. Any thoughts or leads would be greatly appreciated
TechSee uses AR and computer vision to manage store inventory, offering remote visual assistance for product placement. LEAFIO Shelf Efficiency leverages AI to streamline tasks like planogram execution. Though not directly AR-based, planogram tools like Blue Yonder and Shelf Logic help create efficient shelf layouts. Given your 3D printing background, integrating AR with 3D modeling software could be an interesting way to visualize and enhance physical storage.
Use AR to optimize shelf space. Explore building a custom AR app or using platforms like Unity or Unreal Engine. Consider AI integration for smart suggestions. Need accurate measurements and user-friendly interface. Collaboration with an AR expert recommended.
Your idea is innovative and highly practical. While there isn’t a mainstream AR tool specifically for optimizing shelf space with varying box sizes, it’s a great opportunity for a custom AR project. Collaborating with someone skilled in AR development could lead to a valuable tool for efficient physical storage.
