The HoloLens 2 allows for pinsharp stereoscopic projection of the 3D camera image. This is very important as the operator requires an accurate sense of depth in order to control the crane.
Besides that, it’s essential for the operator to see his physical crane controller at all times. As the HoloLens is a Mixed Reality device, the operator has a perfect view of the camera image, while still seeing his physical remote control.
Also, the HoloLens is a fully standalone, untethered headset. It can be used anywhere the operator is, in every office or any location in the field, as long as a good network connectivity is provided. No need for an additional laptop or desktop computer. Having this functionality running on a HoloLens proves to be a very convenient and portable solution.
