Communications
Breakthrough Remote Assistance App Now Available for iPhone and iPad
San Diego, CA – October 2, 2017 –– PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) today announced a brand-new way to
communicate and help others with the new Vuforia® Chalk™ augmented reality app.
Vuforia Chalk delivers a ground-breaking communication experience enabled by the Vuforia AR
Platform and Apple’s ARKit technology that was introduced with iOS11. It allows people in different
locations to share a live view of the same environment, and draw simple annotations calledChalk
Marks. Chalk Marks appear anchored to objects and surfaces in the environment, as if drawn on the
objects and surfaces themselves.
Today, remote assistance can be frustrating and cumbersome. People struggle for words to
describe things that are unfamiliar, whether it be a new appliance or the back of a cable box. And
when the problem can’t be described clearly, it becomes almost impossible for someone else to
solve. Vuforia Chalk provides a simple and intuitive solution where people can now use Chalk
Marks to get a common understanding of a problem, and the steps required to solve it.
The Vuforia Chalk app for iPhone and iPad can be used for a wide variety of tasks by people of all
ages. For example, technology enthusiasts can help friends and family with the latest gadgets. Do-
it-your-selfers can get assistance from each other or a professional. Families with aging members
can provide guidance for everyday tasks that can become challenging. Vuforia Chalk can also be
used by businesses to increase the effectiveness of field technicians.
“Mainstream augmented reality is at the beginning of a strong positive inflection point, and Vuforia
Chalk is a great example of how AR can transition from enterprise-only to use in everyday life,” said
Eric Abbruzzese, ABI Research. “We see Vuforia Chalk as a fundamentally disruptive form of remote
communication that will be well receivedacross multiple sectors and for multiple use cases.”
“Vuforia Chalk represents one of the most practical uses of AR technology to date. It has the
potential to improve our personal and professional lives – initially by helping each other,” said Jay
Wright, President, Vuforia at PTC.
The Vuforia Chalk app for iPhone and iPad*
is available for free on the App Store. It is expected to
be available for additional handheld and headworn devices supported by the Vuforia AR platform.
* The Vuforia Chalk app is available on iPhone 6s or later or iPad Pro from 2015 or later including
the 5th generation of iPad; all devices must be running iOS 11.
