A plumbing apprentice is struggling to install a sink drain when the drain pipe is positioned directly over the middle of the P-trap bend, creating a physical installation conflict.

PipeVision 3D

A mobile AR app that helps plumbers visualize and solve complex pipe routing conflicts in real-time. Using augmented reality on a phone or tablet, it overlays 3D pipe models onto the actual installation site, suggesting optimal routing solutions and flagging potential conflicts before they become costly mistakes. It's better than existing solutions because it provides immediate, on-site guidance rather than requiring manual measurements, sketches, or trial-and-error approaches.
