Automatic Systems

Automatic Systems is a multinational company specializing in the design and production of security gates. Commissioned by TEN Group, we developed an augmented reality configuration application for Android and iOS.

The main features included projecting security gates at a realistic scale, taking reliable measurements and saving/sharing projects for later review.

One of the more interesting aspects of this project was that I was provided with CAD drawings of the gates that included all the technical internal details and had to convert them into lightweight 3D meshes suitable for mobile hardware, while keeping them configurable and visually accurate. I've always enjoyed doing optimization work, so this scratched a specific itch for me. I also learned to work together with the engineers who created these drawings.

Moving away from a more object-oriented development approach, I also adopted a simpler, more procedural and functional style. This made feature development and maintenance much smoother.

I retired from the project in 2021, handing it over a new development team. I'm not sure whether it's still being maintained today.

The app was built using parts of the configuration framework that my colleagues and I had developed earlier at World of Waw. You can read more about that project here.
