NGRAIN Announces NGRAIN Vergence for Fast, Point-and-Click Creation of Industrial Augmented Reality Content
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 12, 2015 -- NGRAIN today announced the availability of NGRAIN Vergence, the latest version of its industrial Augmented Reality (AR) creation software. NGRAIN Vergence makes it easy to develop and deploy industrial AR content across the enterprise by enabling companies to begin building industrial solutions without ever writing a single line of code.
NGRAIN Vergence eliminates the need for businesses to invest in custom software R&D efforts to explore the potential of industrial AR within their organizations. An efficient, easy-to-learn content creation workflow allows content creators to import 3D content from almost any source and link it to data that could include part specifications, inventory details, images, videos, step-by-step instructional content, and technical documentation.
With a single click, AR content can be deployed to any device using NGRAIN Iris, a free companion app for mobile devices and smart glasses.
“With the emergence of industrial applications for the Internet of Things, companies are starting to invest heavily in new software, big data, and connected devices. At NGRAIN, we know there needs to be a simple way to bring all of these investments together to drive business outcomes. We also know that industrial Augmented Reality is a relatively new area for most companies and we want to show them the power of AR solutions by eliminating costly barriers to entry. NGRAIN Vergence empowers our customers to start realizing return on investment almost immediately, without the need for a large, upfront investment in custom software development,” said Gabe Batstone, CEO of NGRAIN.
NGRAIN Vergence facilitates the reuse of existing 3D content from programs such as MAX, Maya, Inventor, CATIA, Creo, and SolidWorks. This latest version of NGRAIN Vergence has the ability to directly import native 3D point clouds from 3D scanners and introduces new content management features such as the ability to interactively search through complex part lists consisting of thousands of parts, batch video exporting, and enabling changes to underlying geometry without requiring extensive rework of existing content.
Alongside this new release of NGRAIN Vergence, NGRAIN is unveiling a new Industrial AR Content Creation Kit at the Internet of Things World show in San Francisco today.
The kit provides businesses with everything they need to get started with creating their own industrial AR applications and includes:
• A three-month subscription to NGRAIN Vergence
• A pair of Epson BT-200 smart glasses
• A pre-loaded NGRAIN AR app, which includes a ready-to-use demo experience right out of the box
• A 3D printed industrial model as a ready-to-use AR target
