What is Help Lightning?

Help Lightning in Birmingham aims to reimagine how businesses, customers and employees are able to give and receive help using Virtual Expertise. The vendor states their merged reality adds missing visual cues, gestures, and non-verbal communication methods to any session. While providing remote assitance, users simply simply reach into a device's field of view and a colleague will see the user's hand merged into their field of view. Users can telestrate, freeze images, use hand gestures, upload pictures and even add real objects into the merged reality environment.
