The US Air Force requires inspectors to examine critical materials for defects invisible to the eye wherein inspection is largely a manual process, prone to errors. When defects go unnoticed, warfighters are threatened.

Summary
Non-destructive inspections (NDIs) are performed by aircraft maintainers to detect any defects on an aircraft before they become a problem. One way these tests are performed is by utilizing an eddy current device to scan around aircraft components in order to detect irregularities such as cracks, corrosion, and fatigue.
In 2017, the GRILL® collaborated with AFRL's RXCA division to design the HoloLens NDI inspection application. The application connects with a UniWest eddy current device to display eddy current readings in front of the user, it performs object recognition to show the user where they have already scanned with the probe, and it allows for the user to save and load their inspection progress.
