Procedures — guided AR work instructions
Author Mode (on-device)
Build procedures directly on HoloLens 2. Place 3D models, drop anchor gems, add media, and define choice steps in the physical space where they’ll be used.
Operator Mode (on-device)
Execute published procedures hands-free with step-by-step AR overlays, media, 3D object interaction, and task lists.
Web Authoring
Create and edit procedures from a browser — add tasks and steps, reorder, enrich with media, and attach 3D objects from an asset library.
QR Scan Flow
Anchor procedures to real-world equipment with QR codes so steps line up precisely every time.
Choice Steps
Branch procedures based on conditions — let operators choose the correct path for the job in front of them.
3D Model Authoring
Position, scale, and configure 3D assets so they appear exactly where needed in the operator’s environment.
Remote Expert — live, see-what-I-see assistance
Contacts — Search & Invite
Search your organization directory for an available expert and send a live session invitation from the HoloLens.
Meetings — Join a Scheduled Call
Browse your Microsoft Teams calendar and join a scheduled meeting directly from the HMD, no invitation required.
Annotate the HMD View
Experts draw arrows and freehand annotations that appear anchored in the worker’s real environment.
Share URLs, PDFs, and 3D models
Push web links, PDF documents, and
.glb 3D models from Teams to the headset mid-call.Hand Menu Controls
Mute, reposition the call panel, and exit the session with a palm-up gesture — no menus, no hunting.
Teams Notification Card
Experts receive an Adaptive Card in their Teams chat with a one-click join link.
Microsoft Teams plugin
Altoura Remote Expert app
A meeting extension installed from the Teams app catalog. Appears in the meeting toolbar once added.
Pre-call readiness check
Verify the app is deployed and add it to your Teams client before a live call so there are no mid-session surprises.
Start / Stop Annotating
Capture the HMD user’s live camera feed on the Teams canvas and draw on it in real time.
File & URL sharing
Drag-and-drop files directly from the Teams side panel. No screenshot required.
Authoring & content management
Procedures Portal
Browser-based authoring workspace. Build, organize, and publish procedures at scale (in progress).
Asset Library
Central library of 3D models, images, and media that authors can pull into procedures.
Step Enrichment
Attach images, videos, and 3D objects to individual steps for richer in-field guidance.
Task Lists & Reordering
Group steps into tasks, reorder them freely, and publish iteratively as the work evolves.
Administration & enterprise readiness
Single-tenant Entra ID
Deploys against your own Azure AD / Entra ID app registration with least-privilege permissions.
SSO & PIN Pairing
Sign in via organizational SSO, email/password, or a one-time PIN from the Altoura Portal for shared devices.
Graph API Permissions
Clearly scoped delegated permissions:
OnlineMeetings.ReadWrite, Chat.ReadWrite, Contacts.Read, User.Read.All.Tenant-wide Teams app deployment
Upload the app package once in Teams Admin Center and pin it through setup policies.
Validation Checklist
End-to-end test plan to confirm meeting creation, notifications, annotations, and real-time sync.
Security & Secret Rotation
Documented rotation cadence, permission scope matrix, and a final deployment checklist.
