An ecosystem delivering comprehensive solutions utilising immersive technology

RealWear’s latest app enables device users to get help faster than ever.

One of the biggest challenges faced by frontline professionals is the need for speed – the need to communicate with their support staff quickly and efficiently. After all, in high-pressure situations, a few seconds can make all the difference as the cost of downtime can be catastrophic.  
 
Today, we’re excited to release RealWear Connect – a new app designed for RealWear devices that makes it easy to connect with support staff in seconds. Unlike traditional remote support calling processes that require device users to call support staff one-by-one, the app streamlines the time-consuming sequence by sending a remote support request to the whole support team in Microsoft Teams or Zoom platforms. This reduces the time taken to get a response from support staff and improves efficiency. 

How does RealWear Connect work?

RealWear Connect is designed for use with all RealWear devices, including RealWear Navigator® 500 Series as well as HMT-1® (now end of sale) and HMT-1Z1®. The app is designed to connect device users to their support staff instantly, without having to go through the hassle of calling individuals until you connect to one that’s available.  

 

  Getting support is super simple with RealWear Connect: 
  1. Launch ‘RealWear Connect’ 
  2. Say ‘Request Assistance’ 
  3. Say the name of the group you need help from 
  4. Say ‘Start new request’ 
This opens a Microsoft Teams or Zoom call and sends a notification to all the group members via text message or email. Once a support staff member accepts the request, they automatically join the call and can communicate with the device user. 

 

Through RealWear Cloud, central teams and management can connect to the admin panel where they have access to additional functionality such as creating and managing groups, requests, and settings as well as viewing data about support requests.
