Kognitiv Spark and NBCC are collaborating on an augmented and mixed reality project. Together they aredeveloping an augmented and mixed reality prototype using the Microsoft HoloLens to address a use casehaving industrial and location-based requirements.The primary purpose of the prototype development process will be to explore a number of specific technical,usability, or developmental issues identified by Kognitiv Spark and to which solutions to the issues willenhance its technology portfolio and consulting practice. A secondary purpose of the prototype will be to serveas a demonstration and teaching platform of the capabilities of augmented and mixed reality for both KognitivSpark and NBCC, thereby attracting new clients and developing highly qualified personnel (HQP) for NewBrunswick in this burgeoning sector. The tertiary purpose is to have the prototype leverage the Vuforiaframework to identify real world objects by the HoloLens and be able to attach an augmented reality scene tothe real world object as it moves. This project will serve as both a technical and collaborative stepping-stonetowards a larger Smart Cities initiative of MFTi.
