HOLOWORK (Radius Media)
HOLOWORK is an industrial mixed reality assistance platform developed for Radius Media, designed for assembly, maintenance, and repair workflows using spatially anchored holographic guidance. The system connects workers to real-time 3D instructions, checklists, and contextual information directly over physical machinery, enabling scalable and always-updated operational support.
Overview
HOLOWORK (Mixed Reality Industrial Training System):
HOLOWORK is a modular mixed reality system that allows technicians to:
• View holographic 3D instructions over real-world machines
• Follow step-by-step maintenance and assembly guidance
• Access contextual checklists, data, and safety information
• Interact with industrial workflows through spatial overlays
The platform is designed to scale across large industrial environments, enabling consistent training and execution across multiple users.
