vSTAR: a new AR digital hardware/software tool designed to extract structural features from core
Limited to 95 participants
vStructure and vSTAR are Vektore’s newest products. vStructure software is a more agile and simplified version of the Ore.node software (Vektore’s 3D real-time visualization tool for structural logging analysis). vSTAR is an Augmented Reality-based reader software and tool that brings speed, high accuracy, high precision, and universal reading of structures to the core shack. It provides real- time logging and visualization within the vStructure and Ore.node software. This is a significant innovation in structural logging designed with geologists, technicians, and core shack workflow in mind. Integrating vSTAR with Ore.node and vStructure will significantly improve the core logging process by generating trustworthy data to provide a sound framework for more robust 3D modelling.
We will present the vStructure-vSTAR graphical user interface (GUI) and its various viewports, while extracting structural features from core within the augmented reality environment from Full, half, quarter and irregular core. Independently collects and transfers planes, lines, vectors, and core-angles and their structural attributes in real time, to the internal database, 3D viewport and 3D Stereonet for review and visualization. Since this is a real-time process, the user immediately gains spatial awareness of the target’s architecture, which is key to understanding the structural controls of the target and speeding up decision-making.
The integration of the tools and methods presented here resolves key problems along the borehole structural logging supply chain that prevent reliable application of structural geology to target exploration and limit the development of comprehensive 3D models of mineral targets.

The Ore.node® software is a 3D, real-time visualization tool built for geologists at drilling and core logging facilities. Combining general and structural logging, it generates high-quality data, allowing for faster and confident decision-making. It handles any type of lineation, fold vergence, facing, flow sense, way-up and kinematic analysis on full, one-half and one quarter oriented and non-oriented core. Ore.node enables early target architecture evaluation and drilling re-direction.
The Structural Vectoring® method provides the foundation for an improved drilling design and mineral discovery. Based on Structural Vectoring we designed a workflow to reveal the association between structural features and mineralization processes to predict location, shape, orientation and continuity of mineral bodies. Structural Vectoring empowers geologists to better and faster understand a target’s geo-architecture, increasing predictability, accuracy and precision of exploration tasks.
