By expanding its solution to mobile devices, Arvizio offers a cross-platform collaborative tool that enables workers to receive instructional visualizations overlaid on the real world with mixed reality (MR).
The latest version of AR Instructor dramatically improves the flexibility and efficiency of the platform by providing a worksite to harness immersive guidance tools without requiring lengthy headset onboarding sessions or multiple expensive MR devices.
Jonathan Reeves, the CEO of Arvizio, added,
“Organizations are seeking to maximize personnel resources in field service and operational activities, such as equipment installation, operation, repair, and maintenance, without sacrificing productivity. This challenge increases when supporting remote locations.”
Arvizio allows on-site workers to easily collaborate in an MR environment and work on real-time 3D (RT3D) spatial data assets. Workers can access Instructor tools to edit or distribute core on-site data such as digital twins of machinery.
Additionally, remote workers can also seamlessly collaborate across platforms and use the service to relay training and guidance visualizations directly to on-site devices.
Securing Industry 4.0
The news comes after Arvizio debuted Instructor in late 2021. The platform integrates its Instructor AR, Instructor Authoring, and Remote Expert applications, allowing worksites to create and distribute custom remote guidance tools.
Arvizio made Instructor available for a series of headsets, including Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 and the Magic Leap 2.
Arvizio also sustains the integration of third-party video conferencing tools such as Zoom and Teams, and supports on-site and dispersed healthcare, construction, and manufacturing workers.
The Ontario-based firm also works with Qualcomm under its Snapdragon Spaces extend reality (XR) early access programme, which backs AR innovation.
In June, Arvizio received Qualcomm’s Pathfinder program developer kit, enabling the firm to test its Instructor service across new experimental devices.
