Vuforia Expert Capture & Vuforia Instruct
Vuforia Expert Capture is a fully integrated augmented reality solution.
It meets your employees’ training needs, requires no pre-training documents and is extremely quick to deploy.
Vuforia Expert Capture consists in recording/capturing an expert’s know-how on video, then adding instructions on your computer.
Your experience, once created and validated, can be widely distributed within your company, and operators can be trained using compatible devices (tablets, smartphones, augmented reality headsets).
Vuforia Instruct is also a fully integrated solution for inspection requirements, especially for industrial quality, on-site maintenance and training.
Its operating principle is virtually identical to that of Vuforia Expert Capture, the main difference being that it requires a different input: a 3D file on which you wish to carry out your inspection, rather than a video recorded by an expert.
Vuforia Engine
Vuforia Engine gives you complete freedom to create your own augmented reality experiences.
You can manage marketing campaigns, imagine product demonstrations, create your own applications for your end customers…
