V! Studios Wins 2018 NASA T&I Labs Innovation Challenge
TYSONS CORNER, Va. (PRWEB) June 21, 2018 -- V! Studios, a creative technologies company, proposed for NASA to use artificial intelligence (AI) to transcribe vast amounts of digitally-scanned engineering drawings. NASA Technology & Innovation (T&I) Labs, an innovation program of the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) within the Technology and Innovation Division, selected V! Studios’ proof of concept as one of 10 projects for inclusion in its innovation challenge.
The T&I Labs Project Challenge solicits ideas from the greater NASA community and enables research for winning proposals as part of a rapid, low-cost, low-risk process. This year’s T&I Project Challenge Judge Panel of experts reviewed submissions and selected only ten winning proposals.
The goal of the V! Studios’ proof of concept is to demonstrate that existing NASA systems will benefit from using AI to improve project administration. Given the variety of engineering drawing layouts and decades of custom formats by multiple NASA contractors, AI will reduce manual cycles as well as personnel hours.
V! Studios CTO, Chris Shenton, enthuses, “When we get an artificial intelligence or machine learning solution to be able to look at an engineering drawing, zero in on the parts list, transcribe the information into structured data before inserting it into the legacy search system, then the entire system becomes more comprehensive and smarter”.
Headquartered in Tysons Corner, VA, V! Studios is a unique hybrid company, successfully combining left brain and right brain skills to weave technology, information, and the arts into innovative and effective products and services. Learn more about V! Studios services at: V-Studios.com
