What's New in Vuforia Expert Capture/Instruct?

Here's a spotlight of the most recent Vuforia Expert Capture & Instruct updates:


Step Check (Beta): New Modes to
Choose how your AI Trains Itself

You will notice 2 new modes in the Step Check Tab (Setup and Active). These modes allow you to choose how you want the enhanced AI to learn about your steps. To give the AI a manual head start to learn a procedure, use the "Setup" mode to activate guided training to help train the step. Otherwise, the "Active" mode allows you to collect training images and data over an extended period while users execute procedures during their daily work. 

Boost inspection productivity & quality with Step Check (Beta) AI:

The AI model used by Step Check (Beta) can be trained with little data to adapt to individual products. The solution's continuous learning capabilities improve inspection accuracy and efficiency over time, adapting to new data and worker feedback to improve the overall inspection process.

Image Capture:
Capture Critical Information in HD

We have had a lot of requests to improve how Vantage captures images on iOS and HoloLens 2. In this release you will be happy to hear that images captured using the iOS Vantage image feedback feature have been improved to around 4k*2k resolution. Likewise, images captured using the HoloLens 2 Capture app have been improved to around 1080p resolution.

Higher image quality means you can now capture more detailed work instructions and step feedback in HD - ensuring that critical information is never missed.



But that's not all!

With each release, we have a ton of new improvements. Here are just a few other highlights from the last releases:

  • Step card UX/UI - has been improved to make it more compact and use less screen space, in addition to including more text by default.
  • Insights - Organization Administrators Can Now Control Visible Information in Viewer Insights Table

Vuforia Insights Updates:
You asked for it - now it is here!

Due to such popular demand, we have made some significant changes to Vuforia Insights to help you understand user activity even better than before. To start with - we have improved the filter options so that you can now filter by procedures. And when we say 'procedure', we mean ALL procedures. No matter if a procedure is complete, incomplete, or has been deleted, you will now be able to apply the appropriate filter to find the procedures you need. You will also notice that you can now see time-stamped information for each step. 

Data to improve your procedures and detect product anomalies early

Now your admins and managers can really deep dive into the usage of your procedures. Learn which procedures are being used or if your users are getting stuck on a specific step of a procedure. This time-stamped information, allows you to understand if your procedure content matches the user needs and can even help you to identify product anomalies early.

Instruct Procedures for HoloLens 2:
Utilize your CAD data in a hands-free experience

Vuforia Instruct users can now view their CAD-based procedures on the HoloLens 2. This means that in addition to text, images, and videos, users can now take advantage of wayfinding and 3D overlay features. What's more, procedures that contain a 3D model also include automatically generated AR Live Guides of the respective physical object when viewing the procedure on a HoloLens 2 device.

Reduce the errors associated with traditional instruction methods

By including CAD-based model tracking & CAD-based markers, Instruct users can now use 3D data from their local 3D tool or PLM software and utilize it for procedures on the HoloLens 2. Whether guiding a user to a specific part, calling out a point of interest on a real-world object, or digitally highlighting assembly parts - 3D data can now be used to create powerful experiences on the HoloLens 2 to reduce errors and simplify complex tasks.

Step Check™ (Beta):
Visual Inspections just got smarter 

We are excited to announce the beta launch of Step Check™ for all Vuforia Instruct users!  Step Check™ is perfect for inspection procedures where users need to visually verify if a step has been performed correctly or not in Pass/Fail scenarios. 

Fewer mistakes, faster turnover, automated reports

With the help of AI, Step Check™ automatically identifies the state of an object with easy-to-understand AR visualizations and lets the user know if everything is correct or not. For example, you can see our Step Check™ visual inspection guides the user to ensure the fuel cap is not forgotten before the next snowmobile adventure - and even automatically documents the whole process in Insights for easy reporting.

Audit History Tab:
GMP-compliant reporting for Expert Capture & Instruct

The Audit History tab is a secure, computer-generated, time-stamped audit trail that independently records the date and time of operator entries and actions that create, modify, or delete published content.


Stay GMP compliant with a time series of content creation activity

The Audit History tab allows managers and admins to view all notable events that occur during the procedure’s lifecycle. Filters make it quick and easy to search, view, and generate reports that contain detailed versioning data from procedures in an organization.
