DataMesh Director + HoloLens 2

Performance Enhancement

The new Qualcomm 850 processor and HPU 2.0 in Microsoft HoloLens 2 enable DataMesh Director to render more sophisticated 3D models in real-time. In our benchmark, HoloLens 2 can load more than double the model resources in the same scene compared with HoloLens 1. Users wearing HoloLens 2 will be able to see more scene information, get more accurate spatial mapping, and faster operation prompts. These enhancements can help to complete related work more efficiently,ensure the accuracy of the work at the same time.

Comfort Improvement

By balancing the weight, the comforts of the HoloLens 2 is much better than the first generation. Users can now wear it much longer. In the real world, the new solution based on HoloLens 2 can more effectively support the digitization of front-line employees.

The most significant advantage of HoloLens 2 in operation is that it provides the best gesture control to date. It can now track 25 joints of the user’s hands so applications can understand the intention of the user better. DataMesh Director fully adapts this feature. The new operation panel button floats on the user’s left hand. We also added a new user editing mode, and now you can drag and drop parts directly within each scene to improve training efficiency.

For job guidance, the new hand tracking can help the trainee to be better acquainted with the workflow, and ensure the accuracy of each step in the work process, assisting the manager in evaluating and optimizing the employee’s workflow.
