Hey everybody, Scott from Scope here. We're excited to be launching and happy to answer any questions! The tech behind it is pretty cool (if I do say so myself), combining augmented reality, 3D environments and video streaming. We hope this solution can solve a lot of problems for people, I know it has for us already!
I prototyped something like this on two separate occasions in 2012[1]. The first attempt was using a laser projector to do the AR in a way that multiple people could observe - I still think that's the ultimate way to go for this problem space. The second attempt was part of a hackathon at Bigcommerce. We skipped the AR part, but worked on the live two-way comms bit, synchronising the content between two whiteboards. That worked well, but was totally outside the company's remit.
Ultimately, I could never find a suitable team or investment to carry this forward in Australia so I just dropped it. Feel free to reach out at tom@jugglethis.net if you want to discuss this further.
Very cool -- I work in an industrial environment and this would be wonderful to not have to fly in experts from across the country for a highly specialized problem. Just in the last week it would have saved me at least $5k. Though I cannot use it now because most of our experts are external vendors so there's the chicken-egg problem, which is why they're focusing on bigger companies with in-house experts.
This looks like a really easy-to-use experience for the experts, and I can see the end user's view working very naturally on AR headsets too. Very cool!
