Finally, and by popular demand, the tool you've been waiting for is here! With 2025 underway, we are thrilled to announce that Mobile Capture is now available for Vuforia Expert Capture users. This game-changing enhancement is set to revolutionize the way you capture and share expert knowledge.
As Vuforia Expert Capture users, you're already familiar with how our platform leverages 3D CAD to capture expert insights, enabling you to create interactive work instructions and enhanced AI inspections. Mobile Capture now builds on that foundation, offering a seamless, mobile-first solution that simplifies content capture and documentation.
Mobile Capture empowers users to scale their operations by enabling real-time capture, collection, and documentation of content using the smartphones and tablets they already have-devices that their IT teams have already deployed and secured. This eliminates the need for expensive, specialized hardware, such as RealWear or HoloLens eyewear, which can create additional challenges and unfamiliarity for frontline workers.
By leveraging the devices workers are already comfortable with, Mobile Capture simplifies the process of documenting expertise by capturing and collecting steps and assets. This allows authors to easily create and publish digital work instructions without the need for physical manuals. Users can quickly take photos, add text, and even support spatially aware procedures, guiding workers to the correct locations for each step during playback.
For customers who lack access to a 3D CAD model, Mobile Capture offers a unique advantage-enabling them to start creating digital work instructions right away, without needing to invest in CAD models. This makes it particularly valuable for users in expansive environments or those without specialized 3D assets, ensuring they can create detailed, accurate instructions regardless of their existing resources. Mobile Capture offers a seamless and familiar experience that boosts efficiency, ensuring workers remain comfortable while interacting with new technology.
As we continue to innovate and enhance our solutions, PTC remains committed to empowering companies with the tools they need to succeed. With the introduction of Mobile Capture for Vuforia Expert Capture users, we are excited to see how our customers will leverage these capabilities to drive efficiency, improve quality, and meet their business goals.
Together, we can transform the way work is done, ensuring that frontline workers have the support they need to excel in their roles. Thank you for being a part of our journey, and we look forward to helping you achieve even greater success in 2025 and beyond.
