ITC CROP DEVELOPMENT

Build nursery judgement
through AI-guided
practice.

A shared nursery environment for guided Learning and planned Evaluation, supported by approved knowledge and senior CD experience.

POC approved 16 October · Development underway

A place to practise.

01 / EXPERIENCE · APPROVED POC

Ask a question. Explore the relevant tray.

Prototype evidence: prompts activate selected tray examples.
VR remains the approved delivery platform.

ACTUAL WEBGL PROTOTYPE · INTERACTION PREVIEW

WATCH THE PROTOTYPE IN ACTION

Prompt-led activation of curated nursery tray examples.

AI-DIRECTED PRACTICE Prompt → selected scene state → learner inspection

Silent excerpts from supplied recordings. The browser prototype demonstrates interaction progress. VR delivery remains in development.

02 / PRACTICE · APPROVED POC

One nursery. Learning and Evaluation.

Learning: explore with guidance.
Evaluation: demonstrate understanding independently.

POC band: 0–15 days. Source folder: 1–15 days. Labels require ITC expert confirmation.

CLIPPING · SCHEMATIC ONLY

Practise the specified action and explain the reason.

The POC uses curated examples; automatic diagnosis and image-based age classification are outside scope.

03 / KNOWLEDGE · APPROVED POC

Explain with sources.
Teach with expert approval.

AI supports explanation.
ITC experts approve teaching content.

What should I check before choosing an action?
Inspect the tray and its context.

Use the approved guidance, check the supporting source and explain your reason.

Illustrative question and response—not a live AI answer or a verbatim source quotation.

SOURCE-BACKED GUIDANCE One selected Telugu PDF · Telugu / English

ONE CONVERSATION → REVIEWED TEACHING

01 / CAPTURE EXPERIENCE

One short senior-CD recording.

Capture an authorised explanation with clear speaking turns and retain its source.

TXT · SRT · VTT · JSON Transcript and caption exports with source timestamps

ITC experts review new knowledge before it is released for learning. The model does not train itself.

04 / FUTURE FIELD CAPTURE · OUTSIDE THE POC

Capture the field view.
Preserve the reasoning.

A proposed extension of the reviewed knowledge workflow.
Device selection and integration require separate agreement.

FIELD REFERENCE · WEARABLE CAPTURE IS PROPOSED
SEE + EXPLAIN + RECORD

“What did you notice?
Why did you act?”

OPTION A / CAMERA SMART GLASSES

Ray-Ban Meta class

Hands-free photographs and short video of the CD’s field view, with an explanation recorded in the chosen capture workflow.

Import/export route, recording limits and IT approval must be validated. Camera smart glasses do not imply an AR display or a custom app integration.
OPTION B / WEARABLE COMPUTER

Vuzix class

A camera-equipped wearable with a display can support a tailored field-capture workflow, subject to model and application selection.

Camera, microphone, SDK access, connectivity and recording quality require a device trial.
Authorised field recording→Approved transfer→Transcript + source links→Expert-reviewed teaching

Capture with permission. Check audio, language and context. No continuous recording, live integration or additional hardware is committed in the POC. A smartphone can remain the alternative capture device.

05 / TECHNOLOGY · PROPOSITION ARCHITECTURE

From field evidence
to guided VR practice.

A proposed technical arrangement grounded in the proposition.
Components remain subject to deployment validation.

01 / INPUT

Approved sources

One Telugu PDF + one short senior-CD recording

Future: smart-glasses capture via an approved import route

02 / PROCESS

Transcribe and structure

Corrected transcript, timestamps and source-linked knowledge card

Speech recognition + source and conflict checks

03 / HUMAN APPROVAL

ITC expert review

Approve the knowledge card, lesson and quiz before release

Unresolved material stays outside released teaching
06 / LEARNING

04 / KNOWLEDGE STORE

Approved content

Reference files, source links and searchable knowledge

PostgreSQL + pgvector · S3-compatible storage / MinIO
AI → scene controlPrompt→Interpret request→Map to allowed tray / zone state→Unity scene update

Proposed control path: interpret the request, select an allowed scene action and update the nursery view. Backend implementation and request validation require technical verification.

Application servicesPython · FastAPI / Uvicorn
Model runtimePyTorch · Docker · vLLM where supported
DeploymentKeeves GPU host · separate speech service

Speech and language model candidates in the proposition include Indic-Transcribe Core 1.2B and Qwen3. Exact models, licences and hosting routes require clearance. ITC experts approve new teaching content before release. Model weights do not update themselves.

06 / ROADMAP

Prove the experience.
Then expand with evidence.

VR begins in the POC.
Each subsequent stage is a separate decision.

APPROVED POC SCOPE

A bounded, working experience.

Demonstrate nursery practice, source-backed mentoring and a reviewed knowledge workflow.

  • One nursery and interactive bed
  • One quest, two anomaly examples, age bands and clipping
  • Telugu / English guidance from one selected PDF
  • One recording → reviewed lesson and quiz
ITC EVALUATION / DECISION

Inspect the four agreed deliverables.

Evaluate the outputs before commissioning a separately scoped Pilot.

VR · BILINGUAL GUIDANCE · EXPERT REVIEW

Pilot, Phase 3 and Phase 4 are roadmap context. Their scope, timing, infrastructure and commercials require separate agreement. No future-stage prices are presented.

07 / THE OPPORTUNITY

Bring nursery experience
into everyday learning.

Help Crop Development colleagues practise,
explain their decisions and learn from senior experience.

01 / LEARNING

Practise with guidance.

Inspect the nursery condition, select an action and explain the reasoning in a controlled learning setting.

02 / EVALUATION

Demonstrate understanding.

The planned Evaluation setup asks colleagues to respond independently and explain their choices against agreed criteria.

03 / EXPERIENCE

Preserve senior experience.

Turn a senior colleague’s explanation into expert-reviewed teaching another learner can access.

A SHARED LEARNING FOUNDATION

Field experience.
Immersive practice. Informed judgement.

ITC brings nursery knowledge and operational experience. Keeves brings the immersive learning environment and AI-enabled guidance.

THE JOURNEY AHEAD

The POC brings the agreed nursery activities into VR. A separately scoped Pilot can build on the evidence, followed by consolidation and wider adoption.
