About

SuPAR

Read full description

SuPAR, enables instant visual inspection of the physical objects in the quality control process, by superimposing its CAD model onto the object over real-time imagery from a device camera. With the AR visualization SuPAR provides, visual inspection in the quality processes can be carried out much more efficiently and reliably. SuPAR automatically creates a visual comparison of CAD data (how it should be) with what the camera sees (real situation). Thus, with the augmented reality (AR) technology, it is easily ensured that the targeted and real situations can be coincided and the deviations can be detected. The software supports the user in three main tasks: • Visual inspection/verification of various production tools, master models, sheet metal molds and parts, plastic parts, equipment and such series, prototypes and test parts, • Recording problematic areas in notes and reports using annotations such as texts, photographs and 3D Notes, through created digital Twins, • Communication through the created digital twin and video conference. With SuPAR, parts of any size can be traced using a CAD file reference and can be checked in a very short time by a "Quality Assurer" without any calipers, templates, rulers, etc. In addition, the virtual drawing tools and control notes offer the possibility of exporting outputs, such as notes and photos, overlapping of target and real situations, with an Excel file during and after the control. There is also a communication module where you can start a video conference. SuPAR application areas can be various as follows. • Dimensional quality control in the input and output processes of materials • In the approval and acceptance of components and equipment, • In the approval of the first sample shapes and geometries, • Providing production standardization, • In maintenance and repair processes, etc. Using SuPAR saves great time and resources, helps achieve higher quality and process reliability with improved cognitive perception, simplifies the whole process and builds a better cooperation between operational processes. In a nutshell, with the use of SuPAR; • Quality issues are detected earlier with less effort and corrected easier and faster. • All structural and geometric features are checked and documented.

About

Hololight Space Spectator

Features
Read full description

Hololight Space Spectator is an additional application to Hololight Space. It allows the user to visualize, in real time and with the highest quality, the interactions of your colleagues with the loaded objects displayed as holograms on your iPad Pro. It creates the possibility to work collaboratively with industrial AR without the need for an additional pair of HoloLens 2 and Quest 2/Pro. With this application, the user also has the ability to capture videos and snapshots of the interactions of the user wearing the HoloLens 2 and/or Quest 2/Pro. It is very simple and easy to use. You with your iPad Pro and your colleague wearing the HoloLens2/Meta Quest 2/Pro basically just need to scan the same QR code to align your positions. Then, when you point the camera of your iPad Pro at your colleague wearing the HoloLens2/Meta Quest 2/Pro, you will be able to see all interactions with the holograms in real time, so you can collaborate, record video, and take photos to document the entire process of your creation. Start a virtual session and start working on your 3D model with Hololight Space Spectator. Disclaimer: Hololight Space Spectator application allows the user to visualize, but not to manipulate or interact with the 3D CAD data holograms and it is not a cloud-based application. Hololight is a global leader in Augmented and Virtual Reality technology, dedicated to unlocking the full potential of XR in the enterprise market. For more information, visit our website.
