Mixed Reality Solutions for The Factory Floor

Mixed Reality Solutions for The Factory Floor

Microsoft HoloLens 2 (HL2), combined with Mixed Reality (MR) software/cloud solutions such as Dynamics 365 Guides and Taqtile Manifest, is an amazing and unique set of technologies.  But from a practical standpoint, which matters most, this technology is a unique and revolutionary way to help boost manufacturing productivity.  Regardless of the use case, it accomplishes this by allowing users to operate untethered and hands free, with the real world in plain view, while being virtually presented with a certain combination of videos, pictures, diagrams, schematics, holographic text and objects, and live streaming from knowledge experts.

It’s this unprecedented approach to providing frontline workers with so much information, in so many useful ways, that helps to drive greater productivity and efficiency.  It really needs to be experienced first-hand in order to appreciate how effective it can be. 

Ergonomics and comfort, along with advanced features such as hand and eye tracking, voice activation, hand gestures, and a high-resolution large field of view, all combine to add to the usefulness of the HL2.  With various options, including standard, industrial, and hard hat integrated versions, the HL2 is suitable for just about any manufacturing environment.
