The Holographic Revolution

2 min read

Saab and Microsoft will be redefining how the world experiences training and education delivery through the creation of highly innovative applications for the Microsoft HoloLens platform.

Saab is pleased to have been selected by Microsoft to participate in the HoloLens Enterprise Acceleration Program, which is now enabling us to build a range of ground breaking training, education and other complex 3D Holographic applications. With the official launch of Microsoft HoloLens, Saab’s transformation of the training and education experience begins today.

Saab is constantly developing and supporting complex software systems to be able to offer modern solutions for todays and future needs. Microsoft provides the revolutionary Mixed Reality HoloLens platform to enable rich holographic content to be viewed in the physical world around you. The Saab training platform on Microsoft HoloLens creates a 3D holographic training environment that enables faster learning, better retention, and more detailed assessment that simply was not possible before now.

Saab has a strong background in advanced software and training systems and, with the assistance of Microsoft, enabling full utilisation of the HoloLens Platform, Saab has begun establishing a HoloLens Applications Studio and Centre of Excellence in Adelaide, South Australia. The studio team of software engineers and experienced trainers will be working with government and industry to develop advanced 3D mixed reality training systems. The applications for this new technology are almost endless and we see a whole new approach to training, both in the classroom and on the job.
