Scope AR Announces New 3D Quizzing and Assessment Technology to Transform Workforce Learning and Development

October 26, 2022 09:04 AM EDT | SAN FRANCISCO, CA  | Scope AR today announced at DevLearn 2022 the launch of WorkLink Quizzing – a powerful augmented reality (AR) tool for accelerating and measuring competency for hands-on procedures. With WorkLink Quizzing, enterprises can build and deploy the next generation of learning and development content for their workforce, and simultaneously reduce the costs associated with traditional instructor led training (ILT) without degradation of training outcomes. WorkLink Quizzing is now available as part of Scope AR’s WorkLink platform for enterprise augmented reality.

“WorkLink Quizzing ushers in the era of immersive content for learning and development practitioners by delivering a set of tools that allow practically anyone to create a quiz or knowledge check in augmented reality, with no coding knowledge required,” said Scott Montgomerie, co-founder and CEO, Scope AR. “With the addition of these grading and assessment tools across our WorkLink platform, organizations are able to rapidly on-board, train and spot-check employees anywhere in the world.  It’s as if an instructor were instantly in the room with them.”

Within the Learning and Development industry, the gold standard has always been in-person training. However, it is expensive and challenging to deliver and administer, often requiring trainees to travel to centralized training centers. Existing remote learning solutions have succeeded in reducing travel and increasing frequency; however they have struggled to reach equivalent outcomes with 2D methods (paper, video, PDF or website) due to low trainee engagement and lack of critical spatial context. These challenges are especially problematic for critical hands-on procedures in the aerospace, manufacturing, and medical device industries.

Augmented reality quizzing addresses these challenges by providing a novel, highly engaging medium and 3D immersion that replicates the spatial cues of in-person training. Trainees have consistently reported positive experiences when using WorkLink Quizzing. Additionally, the WorkLink platform and its constituent applications provide all of the components that are needed to make it simple for any training designer to develop an augmented reality module, without requiring deep programming knowledge or expertise in 3D.  Training modules and quizzes are immediately published across multiple devices and platforms including smartphones, tablets and wearables.

Training designers can also access WorkLink Quizzing’s powerful grading and assessment data which include quiz or knowledge check completion, graded scores, pass-fail status, quiz duration and retry attempts. The data and other relevant information are easily integrated into SCORM-compliant learning management systems (LMS) via the WorkLink API.

“I’ve spent my career bringing new technology to the leading training and development organizations. WorkLink Quizzing is by far the most engaging and effective training technology I’ve ever seen, and our training customers have told me the ‘aren’t going back’” said Darin Medeiros, VP of Sales. “I believe AR learning experiences will far surpass the passive, click-through, tell-and-test methods that we know lack engagement and efficacy while still providing training reach at a distance.”

Scope AR Unifies the Digital Thread with Industrial IoT Capability

Scope AR Unifies the Digital Thread with Industrial IoT Capability

SAN JOSE, CA – June 2, 2022 | Scope AR today announced the launch of WorkLink IoT, a platform service that enables real-time data connectivity within industrial environments for augmented reality experiences. The service enhances WorkLink, its end-to-end enterprise AR platform, with Internet of Things- (IoT-) enabled devices and real-time data fabrics. The launch marks the first-ever offering of Augmented Reality IoT connected data in a no-code AR platform.

WorkLink IoT will become a critical component of the AR-enabled digital thread for manufacturing and field service use cases. Now, real-time data from smart tools and a wide array of industrial edge devices can be aggregated into augmented reality work instructions.

“Our customers are absolutely thrilled to integrate machine data into their AR work instructions. Imagine measuring the torque of each fastening operation as you build a product, with instant feedback provided to the technician in augmented reality. That data can also be sent to any manufacturing or service systems of record in real time,” said Scott Montgomerie, CEO and founder of Scope AR. “This completely changes the quality control and compliance landscape for our customers, offering unprecedented traceability, insights, and human error avoidance.”

WorkLink IoT is the result of a pioneering collaboration between Scope AR and Litmus Automation, a flexible and scalable edge platform for Industrial IoT data connectivity. The collaboration also involved fastener expertise by Click Bond, smart tools by Atlas Copco for precision torque measurement capabilities, and advanced 3D AR wearable devices including the Microsoft Hololens 2.

“We are pleased to partner with Scope AR to provide access to all industrial data at the edge from any type of machine or tool,” said John Younes, Co-founder and COO of Litmus. “Our technology allows WorkLink IoT to connect to any device in minutes, normalize the data for easy consumption, and integrate the data with the AR platform. Now customers can focus on getting value out of their data and the AR solution rather than spending time solving operational complexity since we’ve done that work.”

Click Bond President and CEO Karl Hutter commented, “As a pioneer of advanced assembly solutions for aerospace, Click Bond recognizes the opportunity to unlock technicians’ talents using XR and IoT tools, expanding their capabilities and raising the value of their work. We are proud to partner with Scope AR in bringing this to reality!”

“Previously, customers were forced to hard-code their own data pathways or manage disparate systems in order to enable smart factory data into augmented reality experiences,” said Montgomerie. “This has limited production use cases at scale. Instead, we partnered with Litmus and built a system to allow any available edge data feed to be accessed from within our code-free AR environment, removing any compatibility or development inhibitors to scale.”

WorkLink IoT is another pillar of Scope AR’s digital thread offering, with the goal of providing real-time data to technicians and systems of record throughout the physical product lifecycle.
