mixed reality using microsoft hololens

Mixed reality is an exciting technology that merges the physical world with virtual objects and environments. One of the most prominent examples of mixed reality technology is the Microsoft HoloLens, a wearable device that uses holographic technology to blend the virtual and physical worlds seamlessly. The HoloLens has many benefits, including:

1. Enhanced visualization: Mixed reality enables users to see virtual objects and information overlaid onto their real-world environment. This can provide enhanced visualization and better understanding of complex data, designs, and processes. For example, an architect can use the HoloLens to visualize a building design in 3D, allowing them to make changes and adjustments in real-time.
2. Improved collaboration: The HoloLens allows multiple users to view and interact with the same virtual object or environment simultaneously. This feature can enhance collaboration and communication, especially in fields such as engineering and design, where teamwork and coordination are crucial.
3. Hands-free operation: The HoloLens is a wearable device, allowing users to use their hands freely while interacting with virtual objects. This feature is particularly useful in industrial settings, where workers need to use their hands to operate machinery or tools.
4. Remote assistance: The HoloLens enables remote assistance, allowing experts to guide and support workers from afar. This feature can be especially beneficial in industries such as manufacturing and construction, where experts can guide workers through complex tasks without needing to be physically present.
5. Training and task guidance: The HoloLens can be used for training and task guidance purposes, providing a more immersive and engaging experience. 

Picomto leverages MS Hololens as an exciting new peripheral device that provides end-user access to the GMP-compliant core Picomto solution. In this way, all content served up to end users is fully version controlled and all data and activity by end users is captured in a secure audit trail. Also 21 CFR Part 11 compliant electronic signatures are facilitated.

The key benefit of using MS Hololens with Picomto Digital Work instructions is the ability to overlay guidance holograms on equipment, guiding hands to the interactions they need to make. For example, on. a crowded control panel, a user can be guided to a particular button, greatly reducing the risk of human error.
