Solve problems in real time with expertise and ease: Seamlessly collaborate, share knowledge, and problem solve with a remote expert and bring critical data into view while in the flow of work.
Adapt at the speed of change: Author guides for training or day-to-day processes and quickly disseminate information across your organization, with no programming or 3D skills necessary.
Maximize operational efficiency with data-driven insights: Incorporate guides into workflows to gain visibility and insight into performance data to maximize operational efficiency over time across your organization.

- Authors can easily create guides without 3D or programming skills by using a simple PC app and a HoloLens app.
- Operators use guides on HoloLens in training and on the job to get guidance while they work in a heads-up, hands-free style.
- Trainers and managers can analyze usage data to optimize their workflows.
