September 25, 2020 � Kognitiv Spark, a provider of industrial augmented reality solutions, has recently announced that the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) has expanded its?trial?of the company�s RemoteSpark?Mixed Reality Remote Assistant Support (MiRRAS) system.

According to Kognitiv Spark, during this trial phase the RCN is aiming to evaluate RemoteSpark�s potential to improve maintenance and repairs aboard RCN vessels and systems at-sea and in-port. The trial will also help to further validate the use of mixed reality remote support, which leverages the hybrid-cloud, on-premise computing functionality of?the platform.

RemoteSpark?MiRRAS?is a mixed reality communication tool built for use on the Microsoft HoloLens device. It allows remotely located operators to establish a low-bandwidth, secure audio and video call to operation centers, subject matter experts and decision-makers located anywhere in the world. Expert users can see what a remote user sees. Through the remote support platform, subject matter experts can send task-relevant digital assets (PDFs, Microsoft Office files, images, multi-step animated 3D models and IoT connected digital twins) to remote users to facilitate complex troubleshooting and task guidance.
