Waypoint, launched out of Harvard and MIT, is using AR to revolutionize how knowledge is captured and transferred in frontline industries like manufacturing, biotech, and healthcare. Our software leverages commercially available AR headsets to capture how frontline experts perform complex tasks on the job and quickly converts that information into detailed documentation that can be used for training and compliance. Our product has proven to be over 10X faster than traditional knowledge capture techniques at a fraction of the cost, helping address the multibillion dollar skills crisis in frontline industries.
