“Our combined solutions have the capability to transform training across a range of industries,” says Matt Johnston, division head, Commercial Solutions, Design Interactive. “Together we can use our technology to enable subject matter experts to author and distribute training content without no complicated computer models or software development. The bottom line is that you can go to one place to create training and then deploy it to any type of viewing hardware, be it desktop, tablet, HoloLens or VR headsets. and you don’t have to choose between AR and VR, you can get them both in one shot.”
The partnership between the two companies builds on a collaboration that originated a contract award for the US Air Force. Design Interactive’s Augmentor augmented reality training technology integrated with the DiSTI VE Studio for Unity Virtual Training to create a highly advanced and interactive training platform where training creation and content distribution happens in one place, the company says.
Augmentor from Design Interactive also features a web portal for creating, editing and distributing training modules to Android and iOS mobile devices and HoloLens headsets. With immediate access to updated content, the solution can be deployed quickly and effectively across multiple locations, the company says.
