Kevin Carbotte from Tom’s Hardware posted an article earlier this
month on Scope AR’s Hololens Support for WorkLink. Here are a few
snippets:
WorkLink works well on handheld mobile devices, and those devices are
basically ubiquitous these days, but now that Microsoft’s Hololens is
starting to pick up momentum, and Microsoft is jumping feet first into
its Window Mixed Reality platform this year, Scope AR is ready to
embrace the Hololens platform.
“Through its built-in depth camera and sophisticated
tracking technology, HoloLens is one of the best wearable devices for
hands-free use of the MR applications so many organizations are
seeking,” said Scott Montgomerie, CEO of Scope AR. “With WorkLink now
supporting the device, enterprises finally have a simple and easy way to
digitize visual instructions at scale — empowering all workers to
become their own expert — and begin to realize the full potential of
MR.”
Montgomerie told us that porting Worklink instructions to Hololens
couldn’t be simpler. Scope AR worked with Microsoft for several months
to ensure that the mobile version and the Hololens version would work
seamlessly together. If you have a workforce with Hololens and
smartphone devices, everyone can use the same instructions to achieve
the same goals. The Hololens users will simply have their hands free to
work while they see the overlay.
“Enterprise-class instructional content is one of the
most impactful use cases across MR today,” said Brandon Bray from
Microsoft. “By providing a platform for anyone to customize their
content easily for MR integration, Scope AR is making it easy for users
to take advantage of the benefits of mixed reality using Microsoft
HoloLens.”
Scope hit the front page of The Peninsula Newspaper – Qatar today in an article about augmented reality in the classroom!
From the article:
Recently, a study was conducted with CNA-Q’s Engineering Technology
students to see how AR compared to using standard paper manuals for
disassembling an industrial water pump. The study found that students
using AR made no errors in disassembling the pump, whereas students
using paper manuals made four significant errors.
The Architechnologist took an in-depth look at Scope AR’s journey the past few months: from AWE 2015 this past June, to our involvement as the only vendor at the Epson Launch event in August, and, most recently, being featured in Marc Benioff’s keynote at Dreamforce in September.
“Examples like these provided by ScopeAR are signs that augmented reality is getting ready for mass market.”
Scope AR has been making incredible strides in the augmented reality
industry for training and maintenance applications; we are looking
forward to the near future developments!
On September 16th, Marc Benioff’s keynote at the Dreamforce conference spoke strongly to the theme of innovation. Attendees got a number of exciting glimpses of the future as seen by Salesforce, a company that has proven to be an industry in itself, and no stranger to innovation.
As the finishing touch of this look into tomorrow, Mr. Benioff presents a technician of the future working on Cisco server equipment, being walked through diagnostics and repair by advanced augmented reality software. Futuristic and innovative without question, but this technology is very real–and we provided it. It’s powered by Scope AR and we are putting it in the field every day for organizations on the enterprise scale right down to small scale service support.
Scope AR technology allows users to overlay expert assistance directly onto their view of a live situation in the form of 3D graphics and animation, text instructions, and reference material. Whether delivered on an inexpensive smartphone, high tablet, or display enabled smart glasses, this kind of real-world assistance is truly game-changing, and we are having a great time changing the game right now.
Building on the success of our step by step instruction, we have recently introduced Remote AR, which brings our powerful Augmented Reality interface to the live support call. This has to be experienced to be believed; the frustration of not having your knowledge where you need it is now a thing of the past.
And of course we aren’t finished innovating with our
step-by-step instructional support. In response to customer demand we
are constantly evolving the software suite we use to create our
solutions, and we will be making announcements on some exciting new
developments in that area shortly.
We are seeing a drastic shift in the way that expert knowledge is captured and shared. We see the impact this has every day with our clients. Printed manuals and company experts traveling around the world are already becoming a thing of the past, but within a few short years the impact will go far beyond training and maintenance. It’s no exaggeration to say that communication of our knowledge and our experience is what civilization and society are built around, and we are unquestionably witnessing the evolution of a new medium for that information transfer.
So as we join our friends at SalesForce in looking towards
the future, we at Scope AR are very excited to continue pushing the
boundaries of what’s possible. We are inventing the tools that will help
the next generation of our society work in more ways than one.
Innovation is at the heart of our business, and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
The Calgary Herald, featured Scope AR as the Startup of the Week with an in-depth interview with our President David Nedohin.
“With our products, the Content Authoring Platform and Remote AR, we
have shown how easy AR is to develop and use.” – David Nedohin
Take a closer read as David discusses Scope AR’s ‘ah-ha’ moment, the
challenges we have faced, and key external players. He also gives advice
to those starting businesses and his thoughts on the current startup
ecosystem.
