Most of this work is done on tablets using marker-based tracking, but the company is increasingly looking towards the headset-based future of AR.<\/p>\n<p>The company has been quietly building an impressive list of customers since its founding in 2010. Most can\u2019t be publicly disclosed\u00a0because of contracts, but Scope AR has acknowledged its\u00a0work with organizations like NASA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin\u00a0and Toyota.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">One of the\u00a0issue with HoloLens is that it really isn\u2019t the easiest piece of hardware to get content onto. For developers, it isn\u2019t as simple as pressing a HoloLens button in Unity, there\u2019s some technical heavy-lifting required.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/97vHsOuHqs0?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The company\u2019s WorkLink product will be able to utilize the HoloLens\u2019 outward facing depth sensors to map a rough mesh of objects and attach AR step-by-step instructions to the real-world objects with \u201cthe same ease as creating a PowerPoint presentation,\u201d according to the company.
