Upload VR: Scope AR Demonstrates Remote Collaboration System With Apple’s ARKit

Ian Hamilton from Upload VR released an article today on how Remote AR supports ARKit. Here are some highlights:

“Scope AR’s technology is built around augmented reality-based instructions that overlay helpful information, like assembly steps, on a view of the real world, with the goal of helping companies save time and money by letting people learn on the job or be guided quickly and efficiently by off-site experts.”

“We’ve seen demonstrations of Scope AR’s software in an AR headset like HoloLens before, but the tech’s arrival on Apple’s devices opens up hundreds of millions of devices to the technology, potentially multiplying the usage scenarios for Scope AR’s technology.”

“With our technology, any company can use an existing iPhone or iPad to implement AR within their workforces today, allowing workers to complete tasks faster and more accurately, while also producing significant cost and time-savings,” said Scott Montgomerie, CEO of Scope AR, in a prepared statement.

VR Setup: SCOPE AR’s WorkLink Platform Brings Smart Instructions to HoloLens

Earlier this month, VR setup released an article on Scope AR’s WorkLink support for Microsoft Hololens. Here are some key points in the article:

With the combination of WorkLink and HoloLens businesses can now create interactive, holographic training content for staff. As HoloLens is hands-free users can for example repair a piece of equipment, or assemble machinery whilst visually being taught at the same time.

WorkLink has been designed so that even non-technical HoloLens users can build step-by-step content, whether its for training, repairs, manufacturing or any other applications.

“Enterprise-class instructional content is one of the most impactful use cases across MR today. 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,” said Brandon Bray from Microsoft.

Tom’s Hardware Coverage: SCOPE AR’S WorkLink Goes Handsfree with HoloLens Support

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 AR Making Headlines in Qatar

Scope AR Making Headlines in Qatar

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.

Architechnologist: Augmented Reality Making Everyone the Expert

Architechnologist Article

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!
