DoX VAD
Extended reality content where and when you need it
Extended reality is too often implemented as just the presentation software where content is written directly inside the program. Links to web addresses are not enough when the content must also be available offline or when there are changes in the involved targets.
DoX VAD (Visual Augmented Documentation) is a solution that places content from DoX CMS to different virtual environments. This makes available all the benefits of structured authoring such as version control and reusable expressions and parts for the content in these environments. Extended reality, on the other hand, provides such manuals and other contents a medium which connects them directly to where they are needed.
Together, these two solutions provide your users actually helpful content in a format which removes delays and uncertainty related to content searches, and DoX VAD is what brings them together.
Effortless maintenance
Produce documents in one place and easily show it everywhere that you need it.
Low expenses
Bring manuals to extended reality without having to pay by the hour for each deployment.
Compatibility assurance
Our collaborators' systems come fitted together with our system.
Effortless up-to-date localization
Ensure that localized content remains up-to-date and available with the help of a proper content management system.
DoX VAD is the next step in content management
Manual books remain an important application of structured authoring. The structured content used for them remains freely reusable and adaptable, though. You can thus use that content for webpages as well as virtual environments, as long as you personally position it correctly for each update.
DoX VAD is the solution to this challenge with maintenance. It helps you build connections between structured content and the presentation nodes in virtual environments in a way which places content in the correct positions whenever you update it.
The benefits of this solution over embedded hyperlinks are
- the content remains available in locally saved environments even when you cannot access the Internet,
- the option to have more local functionality for the content such as a rich content search, and
- the ability to adopt content with new identifiers and new content to virtual environments without the risk of broken links.
Compared to traditional manuals, extended reality as a presentation format provides a nonlinear format which instead connects topics to related parts of the product and use cases. This removes the need to browse back and forth or to know the manual in advance to quickly find the correct content.
Such immediate presentation format reduces the risk of errors considerably when identifying the correct spare parts, for example. It also makes all the content related to a specific part of the product available at the same time even if that information would otherwise be in different parts of a manual or even spread across manuals. This enables a more comprehensive perspective on the correct procedures for different situations when training maintenance personnel in particular, because the content directly supports practice. During field work, too, the correct technology together with the correct presentation format will help get machines running again sooner.
Company owner and CEO Mikko Tauriainen:
Virtual manuals link information directly to 3D models of products. We help our customers build not only palatable but specifically always available and practical virtual manuals.
With DoX CMS and VAD, we help pur customers produce manuals which are interesting to put together for their creators, easy to update, and available to be used for sales and marketing as well.
