Vuforia Chalk is an application for Android that enables remote visual assistance via AR annotations. Mainly oriented towards teams in technical support, field service or training
Annotations
It is possible to draw or point directly on the live video feed shared by another user, and the annotations to real-world objects with AR technology. The augmented notes help the on-site individual follow precise instructions in context. Such an approach minimizes confusion and makes guidance at distance feel as effective as being physically present.
The app allows you to initiate a Chalk session with both video and audio to communicate clearly and efficiently. The stream gives the expert a full view of the environment, while voice instructions provide clarity alongside visual annotations.
Multiple users
Moreover, it is possible to open sessions involving multiple participants, allowing several teammates to join and contribute at once. Everyone can share annotations, speak and observe the same visual feed. It is possible to boost group productivity during technical walkthroughs or remote inspections. As for more traditional online meetings without AR involvement, there is Signal or Telegram, popular messengers with encrypted file transfers.
