The Microsoft HoloLens is the world’s most powerful Mixed Reality (MR) headset. Organizations around the world are using these devices, and a collection of software solutions, to better connect their workforces, achieve production efficiencies and a host of other benefits.

In an age in which many businesses rely on advanced engineering systems, the introduction of additional support infrastructure, which at first glance can appear to add complexity, can be met with a significant degree of skepticism by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and customers alike.

Early on in Kognitiv Spark’s history, we decided to build our own 3D rendering engine. This decision was made to avoid using off-the-shelf authoring environments designed for video game creation rather than secure applications for businesses, especially organizations in high-security sectors.

Kognitiv Spark received a Companies-to-Watch award as a part of Deloitte’s annual Technology Fast 50™ Awards. The award highlights emerging companies that exhibit strong growth and show potential to be a future candidate for the Technology Fast 50 award.

Kognitiv Spark, makers of RemoteSpark the Mixed Reality remote worker support tool built for Microsoft HoloLens, are now able to operate their solution on both the Microsoft Azure cloud and Azure Stack.

Awards were presented in several categories, with winners chosen from a set of more than 2,900 entrants from 115 countries worldwide. Kognitiv Spark was recognized for providing outstanding solutions and services in MR.

Kognitiv Spark today announced it has been named a finalist in the 2019 Microsoft Mixed Reality Partner of the Year Award. The company was honored among a global field of top Microsoft partners for demonstrating excellence in innovation and implementation of customer solutions based on Microsoft technology.

25 years ago, a field worker could learn how to perform a certain number of functions, then perform these functions for a sustained period (months or even years). In modern industrial workforces, it’s not uncommon to see certain procedures change weekly or even daily. Especially as demand for customized products and tighter turnaround times increases.

Kognitiv Spark will be providing the Royal Canadian Navy with the opportunity to test drive a Mixed Reality Remote Assistant Support (MIRRAS) system, as part of a project that aims to improve maintenance and repairs aboard active naval vessels.

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.
