36 Squadron identified the need for VR goggles
through working with Boeing.
Historically speaking we've sought Boeing
assistance from overseas to come and assist
us with deeper level tasks which would go
over a number of days.
Traditionally we would send away the more
experienced technician to accompany the aircraft
on the mission.
What HoloLens allows us to do is send away
a less experienced, novice team.
Although capable, they don't have the experience
to perform in depth trouble shooting.
At the moment, the team is working on the
flotation equipment deployment system change
out.
It's a scheduled maintenance task that comes
about every couple of years.
HoloLens allows them to call home via
live video feed on what the technician is
seeing and where they need support.
This way there's no information lost which
allows for a more efficient rectification
to be carried out and receive the assistance,
engineering, tech drawings and/or direction
on how to make the aircraft serviceable in
a timely manor.
