ARGO’s hand-tracking capabilities are being combined with Taqtile’s spatial computing technology
XR TODAY — Taqtile is soon to release its work-instruction platform ‘Manifest’, which can be accessed via ARGO smartglasses.
By combining ARGO’s hand-tracking capabilities with Taqtile’s spatial computing technology contained within Manifest, creates a “robust” solution for deskless workers around the world.
The spatial computing and augmented reality (AR) technology company, Taqtiile, first announced its partnership with DigiLens at Augmented World Expo (AWE) last year.
This year, the software will be showcased at AWE in Long Beach California between June 18th – 20th.
Nima Shams, GM and VP, Product Business Unit at DigiLens, believes Manifest will have a major impact on the sale of its smartglasses: “With the porting of high-value applications like Manifest, we expect demand for ARGO to skyrocket.
“That’s why we’re mass producing our smartglasses in quantities capable of meeting the market’s pent-up demand.
“
Our work with Taqtile will revolutionise the productivity of deskless workers who need the power of Manifest in the rugged, socially acceptable ARGO form factor.
Manifest Meets ARGO Smartglasses
Soon to be in mass production, ARGO’s hand-tracking capabilities have been custom mad for Manifest and its defence and industry sector customers, according to a press release Taqtile.
Hand tracking harnesses the power of spatial computing, enabling Manifest’s industry and defence users to control the user interface with specific gestures.
Manifest’s comprehensive feature set gives businesses the tools they need to manage and scale work-instructions more effectively, allowing deskless workers to carry out complex maintenance work with accuracy and consistency.
The leader in holographic waveguides for XR displays, DigiLens, has designed an optical platform and photopolymer technology, which can be used indoors and in well-lit conditions outside to give users an out of the box “superior performance in a small footprint”.
Taqtile asserts that Manifest is the perfect fit for DigiLens, adding the latest augmented reality technology to enhance operational workflows, assisting workers with maintaining documents, operational procedures, step by step instructions, and analysis of job performance and history.
Manifest can also help with complex task by allowing access to real-time remote assistance from knowledge experts that can then guide deskless users using spatially anchored content within the AR environment.
Dirck Schou, CEO at Taqtile, shared his view on what ARGO is achieving within the AR space right now: “ARGO is pushing the industry forward in critical ways with its combination of integrated hand tracking in a compact, wearable package.

Customers will have a powerful new option when it comes to supporting their workers.
Last October, Taqtile announced it had upgraded its world-class platform, Manifest, for industrial and defence XR clients, enabling these firms to enhance how they conduct inspections and locate faults in equipment and processes.
Manifest v2.8 lets people using the platform flag, track, and manage faults in their infrastructure during inspection processes.
This provides clients with greater inspection capabilities to build streamlined, more efficient facilities.
More recently, in January this year, Taqtile announced official support for Microsoft’s Unity-based Mixed Reality Toolkit 3 (MRTK3) in a move to broaden the usability of its Manifest application ready for a “growing number” of OpenXR devices in 2024.
