[Feature] - Add Interactive AR Repair Mode with Step-by-Step Visual Overlays

[LalitNarayanYadav]

🧠 Describe the Feature

Add an Augmented Reality (AR) Repair Mode that overlays step-by-step repair instructions directly on the live camera view. This mode would visually guide users through repairs by showing real-time annotations (arrows, labels, part highlights) on detected objects using the existing object detection model.

Key components:

• Step-by-step instructions that update as the user progresses.
• On-screen indicators pointing to the location of actions (e.g., "unscrew here", "place part here").
• Option to switch to text or video instructions if AR is not supported.

💡 Why Is This Feature Needed?

• Users, especially beginners, may find it difficult to interpret static repair instructions.
• Real-time AR overlays make the repair process more intuitive, interactive, and user-friendly.
• Reduces user error by showing exactly what to do and where.
• Improves accessibility and could broaden user adoption among non-technical audiences.

🖼️ Mockups / Visuals (if any)

Mockups could include:

• Camera screen with a semi-transparent arrow pointing at a screw or joint.
• “Next Step” and “Previous Step” buttons for navigation.
• Highlighted parts or zones detected via object recognition.
• Status icons showing completed steps.

📎 Additional Context

• Can be implemented using libraries like AR.js, Three.js, or mindAR in combination with TensorFlow.js for object detection.
• The feature can be toggled on supported devices and fallback gracefully on others.
• This enhancement aligns well with Refixly’s vision of accessible, AI-powered repairs.
