Best Remote Assistance Solutions: Remote Desktop Connection

Remote Desktop Connection is a feature included with the first Windows products that allowed access to your computer from another computer located in a remote location.

That is a key feature which is still existing and widely used until now not only on Windows and Microsoft products.

Anyway, sticking with the Windows option, to act in order to operate on another system from a remote location you had to be sure that:

• you need that the computer which needs assistance allows remote connections, usually setting it from computer’s System Properties
• you need the computer’s IP address you want to connect to perform a remote assistance
• you need to know the administrator account’ credentials of the host computer

Once you assure that everything is in its place, you’ll have full access and control of the host computer, so you’ll be able to perform whatever operation you need to do for solving any issues that are disturbing the computer’s performances.

Best Remote Assistance Solutions: Augmented Reality Tech

As in the case of the “old” remote assistances performed by Windows systems, there’s still a remote assistant user working from a remote place, only this time it will control directly the user using the augmented reality tech to try to solve a problem.

Augmented reality in fact is nothing more than a reality enhanced by computer data which will appear directly on the user’s view, in this case a camera. It differs from virtual reality, which “creates” a virtual brave new world instead of “adding” elements to our reality.

Now, to perform one of the best remote assistance solutions for your workspace on the market you’ll have to equip a head-mounted display linked to augmented reality tech such as our Kiber 3 helmet included in the Kiber 3 kit.

Thanks to it, one of your employees will be equipped and connected with a remote assistant which will guide every step needed to solve an issue without actually being there.

Thanks to this helmet and its 150° vision wide angle camera, the professional from a remote position will see whatever your employee is watching in that very moment, and thanks to AR tech it will be able to show info and instruction directly on the display.

This will result in a sort of “instant expertise”, as we like to call it here in Kiber, and resolve many issues linked to lack of experienced personnel and, now in the year 2020 and future 2021, Pandemic-related issues such as lack of outside experts because of travel bans and restrictions or quarantined senior employees.
