Augmented Reality vs. Virtual Reality: What’s The Difference?
Augmented Reality vs. Virtual Reality Modernization is becoming increasingly important for companies in the 21st century. Extended reality technologies, like augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR), are some of the solutions companies are adopting to improve operational processes and reduce
Should we rethink our hardware plans?
We are excited to see new head mounted displays (HMDs) come to market, and we anticipate continued innovation in the HMD market for some time to come.
Is the Magic Leap 2 the right tool for industrial settings?
When it comes to Magic Leap 2, there’s an awful lot to like. Most notably, the ML2’s wide, 70-degree field of view creates an extremely natural, immersive AR environment.
So, we only have 1D asset tags, will that work with Manifest?
No. Manifest does not support 1D asset tags. Because Manifest work instructions are often augmented with 3D content that needs to be spatially anchored to physical equipment, QR codes are required. 1D asset tags do not contain enough information. However,
So, we only have 1D asset tags, will that work with AR-enabled work instructions?
Yes, some solutions support 1D asset tags in limited ways. It is important to note, however, that 1D asset tags typically only include information about the specific pierce of equipment and do not contain enough information to spatially anchor 3D
So, I must put a QR code on every piece of equipment when using Manifest AR-enabled work instructions?
No. Manifest offers an option to use a virtual QR code. But, if possible, physically affixing a QR code to every piece of equipment is often the best approach. To understand how QR codes are used with AR-work instructions, please
So, I must put a QR code on every piece of equipment when using AR-enabled work instructions?
No. Many solutions have alternatives including using a virtual QR code. But, if possible, physically affixing a QR code to every piece of equipment is often the best approach. To understand how QR codes are used with AR-work instructions, please
Do I have to use a QR code with Manifest – I can’t put anything on my equipment?
No. There is a virtual option that doesn’t require affixing anything on the physical objects. For a detailed explanation of QR codes and different approaches, please review this blog post. QR Codes or ” fiducial markers” are necessary for Manifest
Do I have to use a QR code with an augmented reality work instructions solution– I can’t put anything on my equipment?
No. But it is often the best approach. QR codes are a type of barcode that is a machine-readable optical label that contains information. QR codes and augmented reality work instruction solutions are commonly used together for two primary reasons.
Do I need 3D models to use Manifest?
No, absolutely not. However, Manifest users can enhance step-by-step guidance with 3D models. Here some things to consider when considering 3D models.
Do I need 3D models to use AR-enabled work instructions?
Some AR-enabled work instruction solutions do require starting with a 3D model. Here are a few things to consider when regarding 3D models
Can I run Manifest on-prem (in my facilities and on my network)?
Yes, Manifest by Taqtile is architected to work in a variety of environments.
Can I run AR-enabled work instructions on-prem (in my facilities and on my network)?
Most work instruction solutions available do not support such deployments. However, solutions such as Taqtile’s Manifest do support on-premise deployments.
Do you need a HoloLens to use Manifest?
Taqtile believes in supporting a broad set of devices to help workers get jobs done efficiently. Manifest supports HMDs, wearables, tablets, phones, and PCs.
