# Resources (Manage Media, Tools, and AR Assets

## Overview

The **Resources** page under **Work Assist → Assets** allows users to manage all supporting resources linked to a specific **Asset Type** and **Asset**.\
These resources form the foundation for creating interactive and visual workflows for technicians using AR Genie’s platform.

Supported resources include **media (images, videos, and documents)**, **3D objects**, **AR anchors**, **considerations**, **tools**, and **object detection sources**.

***

## Prerequisite: Asset Type Selection

Before managing resources, select the **Asset Type** from the left panel.\
Example: Select *Aircraft* → *Airplane Assembly Turbine Engine*.

Without selecting an asset type, the Resources section remains inactive since all resources are asset-type linked.

***

## Media Tab

The **Media** tab organizes visual and document-based assets under four categories:

* **Images**
* **Videos**
* **Documents**
* **3D Objects**

Each resource type can be uploaded directly or selected from the **Gallery**.

### Uploading Media

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Upload media files

* Click inside the upload area or **drag and drop** files.
* Add a **caption or tag** for easy search and identification.
* Uploaded files appear as cards with thumbnails and view options.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Example uploaded items

* Image: *“Assemble the compressor”*
* Video: *“Turbine assembly animation”*
* Document: *“Aircraft.pdf”*
* 3D Object: *“Engine model.glb”*
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

### Selecting from Gallery

Click **Gallery** to open the resource selection modal. Use search and tab filters (Images, Videos, Documents, 3D Objects) to quickly find existing files.

***

## Anchors Tab

Anchors define **spatial markers** used for aligning AR content within real-world environments. These are also created through the **iPad app** for precise calibration and positioning.

{% hint style="info" %}
Anchors can only be added from the iPad app.
{% endhint %}

***

## Considerations Tab

**Considerations** are safety notes, procedural cautions, or informational warnings related to asset handling or operation.

### Adding a Consideration

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open add consideration modal

Click **Add Consideration**.

<figure><img src="/files/4v4dKr1w4LfOF2byQx16" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Complete the form

* Select **Type** (Custom, Caution, Warning, Note).
* Enter a **Description**.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create

Click **Create** to add it.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Example:\
⚠️ “If you lift it too much, the small plastic claw will break, so be careful.”

***

## Tools Tab

The **Tools** section lists all instruments or equipment required for workflows associated with the asset.

### Adding a Tool

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open add tool modal

Click **Add Tool**.

<figure><img src="/files/TOjqyylYI1eEuFbGsCmt" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Fill tool details

Enter the following details in the form:

* **Tool Name** (e.g., Screwdriver, Torque Wrench)
* **Description** — purpose or use.
* **Image** — drag and drop or select file.
* **Warnings** — optional safety notes.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create

Click **Create Tool**.

<figure><img src="/files/RhJ6PT6sMgwbplTepvd0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Example

* **Tool:** Screwdriver
* **Description:** Used to tighten turbine screws.
* **Image:** Uploaded from local system.

***

## Object Detection Source Tab

The **Object Detection Source** section allows the setup of machine vision or AR-based target recognition resources.

### Adding an Object Detection Source

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open new object detection source

Click **New Object Detection Source**.

<figure><img src="/files/RNMi6j0G2p3hIiIiNim7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Fill the form

* **Name** — e.g., *Compressor Section Detector*
* **Description** — define purpose of recognition.
* **Width (in cm)** — physical reference size.
* **Target Type** — type of image/marker/object used.
* **Resource** — upload related image, 3D object, or AR marker.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create

Click **Create** to finalize.

## Summary

| Resource Type                       | Description                              | Source       |
| ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------ |
| **Images, Videos, Docs, 3D Models** | Upload media for visual guidance         | Web Portal   |
| **AR Objects, Anchors**             | Add spatially mapped AR content          | iOS/iPad App |
| **Considerations**                  | Add operational warnings or notes        | Web Portal   |
| **Tools**                           | Define tools for assembly or maintenance | Web Portal   |
| **Object Detection Source**         | Enable AR object recognition             | Web Portal   |

***

## Example Use Case

For the *Airplane Assembly Turbine Engine* asset, a supervisor uploads related images, videos, 3D turbine models, and adds considerations like *“Handle turbine blades with care.”*\
A *Screwdriver* tool is defined for use, and an *Object Detection Source* helps AR Genie identify turbine components for visual verification in AR glasses.

***

## Notes

{% hint style="info" %}
Tip: Use high-quality, lightweight 3D models for optimal AR rendering.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Avoid duplicate uploads — use the **Gallery** for existing assets.
{% endhint %}
