Augmented Reality & Remote Collaboration in the Field

Gemvision is a software company based in Rotterdam. They specialize in providing a ready-to-use solution for augmented reality and remote assistance applications. With the Gemvision Ready to Go-Kit, they have developed an all-in-one kit where both the hardware (such as the AR glasses, battery, and accessories) and the software can be used right out of the box.

All-in-one solution

This is a great solution for companies that don't know much about (the possibilities of) augmented reality and remote assistance. Often someone in the company has heard about remote assistance and thinks: "hey, that sounds handy. We should have that too!". But when an augmented reality glasses is finally purchased, it often turns out to work less well than intended. As a result, the glasses end up in the closet and are no longer looked at.

With Gemvision's all-in-one solution, the user has everything they need to use the glasses right away. This includes a handy case for charging the glasses, as well as all the necessary cables and accessories to wear the glasses comfortably for a long period of time.

Gemvision Use Cases

Want a better understanding of the Gemvision Ready-to-go Field Kit? Check out the videos below to see previous projects from Gemvision.

  • Remote specialists for Hamer. Hamer uses Gemvision with Vuzix's smart glasses to let technicians watch live on location. They do this with the help of video that is streamed to the Vuzix glasses. This way, an external product specialist can watch live with a service technician, without having to be physically present.
  • Remote Wound Care 2.0. In this project, Gemvision works together with the hospital and Careaz Homecare to enable district nurses to work "hands-free". The goal of this project is to offer professional support to home-care nurses in wound care for patients.
  • Air-conditioning service and remote assistance. Daikin uses their own Gemvision platform, where the technician can show the helpdesk employee what he sees with the help of the Vuzix glasses. The helpdesk employee can then draw on the screen, point something out or even share his own screen. Meanwhile, the technician can go about his business hands-free.
