Index AR Solutions Launches Marine Division, Names Ed Waryas as Vice President and Ed Waryas III as Director

STAMFORD, Conn., March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Index AR Solutions has launched a Marine Division to accelerate the implementation of augmented reality (AR) in the maritime sector.  This technology is particularly suited to solving the challenges facing the maritime industry.   These AR solutions will revolutionize how maritime companies do business over the next 5 to 10 years. 

Today the industry is awash in data and there is a need to transform this data into a useful visual format for frontline workers, supervisors, engineers, operators and inspectors.  Utilizing AR to digitally overlay data on the real world provides an intuitive, easy to use, visual solution by using mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets and head mounted displays.  It is this visual overlay that provides game changing solutions that enable the maritime industry to be more effective, efficient and safe.

Dan Arczynski, CEO and President announced today that Edward A. Waryas Jr. was named Vice President of the Marine Division and Edward A. Waryas III as Director, Marine Division.  "The Waryas name is well known in the maritime segment and their experience with ship owners, operators, shipyards, classification societies and marine suppliers is based on years of mutual respect and trust."

Index AR Solutions was launched in Jan. 2015 as a result of a unique teaming agreement with Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS).  This win-win arrangement provides Index AR Solutions exclusive commercial access to NNS's more than 4 years of AR technology development and intellectual property and the NNS AR team with dozens of AR projects under their belts.

For example AR can:

• Overlay 3D models to ensure the as built condition is in accordance with design
• Enable inspectors to clearly and rapidly find departures from specifications
• Significantly reduce shipyard man hours during new construction, repairs and conversions

"One cannot really appreciate what AR can do without seeing first hand.  When I first saw a face-to-face Index AR Solutions demonstration, it quickly became apparent AR will change how the maritime industry does business.  The maritime sector is very traditional but in today's highly competitive and tough economic climate, Index AR Solutions is a game changer that one cannot ignore," commented Ed Waryas.
