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.

Lucas Matney from TechCrunch released an article this month on Scope
AR’s WorkLink platform for Hololens, here are some highlights:
It’s important to remember that the augmented reality headset’s
ambitions lie in building a new standard for spatial computing with
enterprise customers.
Today, Alberta-based Scope AR announced that it will be launching a version of its WorkLink augmented
reality content authoring platform on the HoloLens, giving customers
the ability to help remote workers learn to repair or assemble complex
machinery.
The company’s WorkLink product will be able to utilize the HoloLens’
outward facing depth sensors to map a rough mesh of objects and attach
AR step-by-step instructions to the real-world objects with “the same
ease as creating a PowerPoint presentation,” according to the company.
This will allow non-technical employees a chance to easily build content
and push it out to supported platforms, including iOS, Android and
Windows.

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.”

May 11 at Microsoft Build 2017, Scope AR,
the creator of mixed reality (MR) smart instructions and live support
video calling solutions, announced that its MR content authoring
platform, WorkLink, now supports Microsoft HoloLens. Using the smart
instruction creation platform available on HoloLens, users can now
quickly and easily produce highly interactive MR instruction and
training content for deployment on HoloLens, the world’s first, fully
self-contained holographic computer. The integration provides WorkLink
users with a completely hands-free MR experience, an essential step for
remote workers trying to repair a piece of equipment or factory floor
workers assembling complex machinery. New and existing WorkLink projects
can now be immediately published to HoloLens to take advantage of a
fully markerless, hands-free solution!
