On Sunday, February 24th at the Mobile World Congress press event in Barcelona, Microsoft HoloLens creator Alex Kipman announced the next generation of head-mounted Mixed Reality computing hardware.

Since first shipped in March of 2016, the 1st edition HoloLens has remained the global leader for mixed reality hardware for enterprise.

Today, Kognitiv Spark announces a partnership with LOOKNorth to use RemoteSpark, their Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) worker support software, to improve maintenance for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in remote northern communities in Canada.

It’s no secret that augmented and mixed reality are poised to revolutionize many industrial sectors, including manufacturing, oil and gas, the energy industry, agriculture, and defence, and aerospace.

We knew from the beginning when building RemoteSpark there would be customers that would require an on-premise solution either due to disconnected/remote requirements or data governance policies. This meant we had to balance the features we used in the Azure Cloud vs what Azure services are available in Azure Stack.

We believe that technology if used right, can not only allow front-line workers to stay relevant but will make them more critical than ever before.

The launch of RemoteSpark in the Microsoft App store opens new doors for industrial manufacturing efficiencies.

After a strong burst of building from our development team, we successfully launched version 1.0 of RemoteSpark on June 29th, 2018. This was a major milestone for us and meant we were able to deliver a fully-functioning software application to our clients that we are proud of – with all the key features that set us apart on the mixed reality stage.

We are thrilled to be nominated by Microsoft Canada as one of the IMPACT Awards finalists this year. Looking forward to continuing to empower customers with innovative solutions. #MSInspire

As one of the ten winners of the NATO Defence Innovation Challenge from among the 29 NATO Nations, Kognitiv Spark took part in NITEC18 last week.

Details for NATO’s largest digital transformation in decades were on full display at the conference which was held in Berlin, Germany.

Complex equipment that requires timely support during outages, from experts-based thousands of miles away. This scenario is all too familiar for many organizations and one which our new video demonstrates can be better solved for the team at Canada’s largest geotechnical centrifuge, with RemoteSpark.

Just in time for Christmas (and before the snow), a Surface Hub arrives at Kognitiv Spark HQ!
