Director

Keep critical know-how usable beyond the expert who holds it

Complex work is often taught through binders, slide decks, videos, and side-by-side instruction. Those methods can leave important spatial detail in the instructor's head: which component matters, what changes between steps, where a hazard sits, and what a technician should check before continuing. When experienced employees move roles or standards change, that knowledge becomes difficult to repeat and maintain.

Director helps process owners and training teams turn that know-how into reusable 3D guidance. Qualified instructors and approved procedures remain in control, with a clearer and more maintainable way to explain and reuse what good work looks like.

Turn a real procedure into guidance people can follow

Teams use DataMesh Studio to combine an existing equipment or facility model with work steps, annotations, animations, interactions, and review notes. A subject-matter expert can walk through the procedure with the content team, identify the essential details, and validate the sequence before it is published.

DataMesh One then delivers the approved content for training, review, or field guidance on a supported device. When equipment, risk controls, or work standards change, the owner can revise and republish the content instead of rebuilding separate materials for every site and device.

Fit the delivery method to the work

Not every procedure needs a headset. Desktop and mobile delivery can work well for self-study, classroom review, and quick access near equipment. Spatial devices can add value when scale, position, hands-free viewing, or an understanding of hidden internal behavior matters.

Current Director releases support DataMesh Studio on Windows, Apple-silicon macOS, and iPadOS, and DataMesh One on Windows, iOS, ARCore-certified Android devices, Apple Vision Pro, and Meta Quest 3/3S. HoloLens 2 remains a legacy path with Director 6.2.3 as the last supported version. Device choice should be confirmed against the current release, site safety rules, network conditions, and the task itself.

Director is available through SaaS subscription and private deployment options. During evaluation, teams define the deployment scope, identity model, content ownership, localization approach, and device-management requirements.

Know where Director fits

• Director owns reusable guided procedures, standard work, and 3D training content.
• DataMesh Studio is the Director authoring and review application.
• DataMesh One delivers approved content for viewing, training, and collaboration.
• FactVerse Designer creates operational digital twin scenes, process logic, and simulation workflows.
• Simulator supports physics-based heavy-equipment operator practice with training controls or stations.
• Inspector and Checklist manage inspections, work tasks, field records, and evidence rather than owning the training content itself.

This boundary lets a customer use Director on its own for guided content or combine it with the broader FactVerse stack without presenting every operational workflow as a Director feature.

Public evidence from operational training

• Swire Coca-Cola used Director to create 3D instructions for aseptic filling-valve maintenance and frontline training in a bottling facility.
• Foxconn used Director in the first phase of a training and equipment-maintenance initiative, creating reusable MR training materials for delivery across computers, mobile devices, and Apple Vision Pro.
• NEXCO-EAST Engineering developed digital twin and MR training for ETC equipment and tunnel emergency facilities, making internal structures and behavior easier for trainees to examine.

These references demonstrate guided 3D training in real operating environments. Results still depend on procedure selection, content quality, instructor involvement, device fit, and rollout practice.

Start with one procedure that matters

A useful pilot is narrow enough to review but important enough to expose real friction. Choose a procedure with an accountable owner, available source material, an equipment or facility model, and a clear group of learners or field users.

Validate whether people understand the sequence and decision points, whether experts can review and update the content, whether the selected device fits the work environment, and whether ownership and updates remain manageable after the pilot. That evidence provides a practical basis for deciding which roles, sites, and procedures come next.
