Deployment of microsoft hololens and mixed reality
Jumbo will incorporate the Microsoft HoloLens in it’s business processes and wants to give the customer insight into what working with a Microsoft HoloLens means. Ralph Jansen, application manager at Jumbo, says: “Now that we are close to making the HoloLens operational on our ships, we also wanted to use an app as a sales tool during the offshore energy exhibition. This allows us to show our customers what we are working on in this area.”
Virtual Cross Sections
Through the project that Recreate has carried out for one of the top 6 players in the Dutch construction industry, Jumbo came into contact with Recreate. “Recreate has developed an app in a very professional manner and in a short period of time that fully meets the wishes of Jumbo,” says Ralph. Thanks to the mixed-reality
application that has been developed, visitors to the exhibition will be able to view the newly built ship in virtual cross-sections that can be controlled by a hand gesture or using voice control.
