POINTR Release 2.6

The new release features advanced image processing that significantly enhance visual clarity of documentation features, making remote assistance more effective and efficient. By optimizing for high-resolution, POINTR now delivers an unparalleled experience in remote-first process. Moreover, this update broadens POINTR’s compatibility with various smart glasses. With an emphasis on user-friendly interfaces and seamless integration, professionals in the field can now access POINTR’s powerful tools through their preferred smart eyewear, ensuring hands-free operation and increased productivity. Finally, we have enabled an API to help our customers to automate administration and usage statistics functions.

Previously, we brought the ability for the expert to adjust zoom 8x and video quality levels and to use the flash light on the field expert side remotely. This makes field collaboration on hands-free smart glasses – Epson, Realwear, Vuzix, Google Glass, Hololens – much easier. In POINTR, depending on the network conditions we always retain the image quality and adjust the video frame rate. Unlike commodity collaboration tools which decide on user’s behalf regarding the quality (recall those awfully pixelated images making technical collaboration impossible), in POINTR the user can take fine control, for example, to increase the image quality if the network allows. The Single Sign On with OAuth2.0 now covers three major providers: Amazon Cognito, Ping SSO, and Azure. The performance of the underlying ultra low-latency XRTC streaming has been optimized for 5G networks.
