fixalong

fixalong is a hands-free repair guide in augmented reality. You put on the headset, say "Felix," and tell him what's wrong. Felix sees what you see through the headset's camera, labels the parts in front of you, and works out the cause with you one test at a time: "Press down on the flapper. Did the running stop?" Then he walks you through the fix, and a separate verifier checks every step before the checklist moves on. He stops for safety when it matters, with a caution sign that goes up as he tells you, and the job ends on real proof: the tank refills and goes quiet. I tested it on a real toilet with a staged installation mistake and four first-timers, each left alone with the headset and one line to say. Three fixed it on their own. The first run ended at "call a plumber," and what each run exposed was fixed before the next one. The last tester, who doesn't like VR, went from greeting to goodbye in under three minutes. Everything was built from scratch during the hackathon.
