This HoloLens App Can Make Industrial Jobs Safer

So far, HoloLens has showed its entertaining side, offering users the possibility to interact with Warcraft characters and laugh with George Takei. Soon, though, people could put the augmented reality headset to work, at work. A company released an app for HoloLens that makes fulfilling tasks in the industrial field easier and safer #realitymagic

The B2B branch of French video game development company Asobo Studio created the world’s first holographic crane simulator. The Holocrane can help beginners learn how to operate such a machine before getting their hands dirty. Just by putting on a HoloLens headset, a worker can experience a common work situation in a safe environment without the added pressure of time. To manipulate the virtual crane, the user needs an industrial remote. This means that the simulator does not deviate from the real scenario, helping users learn with the actual tools they are provided at work.

Holoforge Interactive has released a small teaser of their portable, stress-free approach:

Indeed, the app is safer than any other type of practice workers need before handling a crane. Asobo Studio wanted to show the AR experience at Laval Virtual, the most popular AR/VR event in Europe, last month. To illustrate the benefits Holocrane would have for people who work in construction, Asobo installed a holographic booth. This open area allowed visitors to interact with holograms from games, case studies and corporate apps:

“HoloBooth, developped by our team, will revolutionize the world of communications, events and entertainment: it’s a fully customizable booth, that can switch instantly between several themes and designs. It will adapt to every type of space with or without the support of a physical booth, multilingual, multi-user and will offer real-time interactions.”, said Sebastian Wloch, Asobo Studio’s CEO.
