(Evident: Waltham, MA) -- The SZX-AR1 augmented reality system easily retrofits to existing Olympus SZX series stereo microscopes to simplify complex microscope-based manufacturing tasks and simplify assembler training. Manuals, assembly instructions, images, and instructional videos can be projected in the microscope’s field of view so assemblers can work more efficiently.

Simplified assembly with fewer errors

The microscope-based assembly process can require the assembler to stop multiple times to consult instructions or to memorize these instructions before beginning their work. Repeatedly removing one’s eyes from the microscope oculars is inefficient, and memorizing directions can lead to mistakes.

The SZX-AR1 unit solves these challenges by enabling projecting instructions directly in the microscope’s field of view. Now, an assembler can complete their work without removing their eyes from the oculars or tediously memorizing complex sets of directions.
