Irvine, October 7, 2024 – EON Reality, the world leader in AI-assisted Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality-based knowledge transfer for industry and education, proudly announces the launch of Spatial IQ—an innovative AI-powered augmented reality (AR) platform designed to transform how knowledge is accessed, shared, and applied in real-world settings. Spatial IQ leverages spatial AI technology to map physical environments, overlay detailed information and standard operating procedures (SOPs), and provide real-time guidance through interactive learning avatars.

“Spatial IQ represents the next frontier in knowledge transfer and skill development. By combining the power of Spatial Artificial Intelligence with interactive learning avatars, we’ve created a platform that not only guides users step-by-step through complex procedures but also enables them to practice, perform, and perfect their skills with confidence. This is the future of hands-on training, where learning happens not just through instruction but through doing and experiencing in a fully immersive environment,” said Dan Lejerskar, Chairman of EON Reality.

A New Era of Hands-On Learning with Spatial IQ
Spatial IQ is built to serve multiple industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, construction, and retail. By utilizing Spatial AI, the platform scans and maps any physical object, from complex machinery to everyday tools, and provides instant access to standard operating procedures, training materials, and safety guidelines. What makes Spatial IQ truly revolutionary is its interactive AI-driven avatar feature, which not only demonstrates each step of a procedure but also encourages users to perform tasks independently while offering real-time feedback.

Key Features of Spatial IQ:

1. Object Recognition and SOP Integration: Spatial IQ identifies objects in real-time and automatically retrieves the corresponding SOPs from its vast database or external resources, presenting step-by-step guidance through interactive AR overlays.
2. Interactive AI-Driven Avatars: Avatars appear in AR, visually demonstrating each step of a procedure and providing guidance, feedback, and encouragement. The avatar assesses user actions and offers corrective suggestions, making it easier to master complex tasks.
3. Skill Simulator for Practice: Users can switch to a virtual mode where they practice procedures in a simulated environment before applying them in the real world, ensuring they are fully prepared for the task at hand.
4. Real-Time Performance Assessment: As users perform tasks, Spatial IQ tracks their actions, highlights deviations from the SOP, and provides detailed performance assessments to improve accuracy and efficiency.

Example Use Cases:

• Healthcare Training: Medical students can scan a surgical table to visualize human anatomy or watch avatars demonstrate surgical procedures in real-time. This allows for hands-on practice before operating on patients, reducing the risk of errors.
• Industrial Equipment Maintenance: Field technicians can use Spatial IQ to scan machinery and receive instant step-by-step instructions for maintenance or troubleshooting. An avatar appears to guide them through the process, assessing their actions and providing immediate feedback to ensure compliance with safety standards.
• Warehouse Operations and Inventory Management: Spatial IQ helps warehouse staff locate items faster by displaying optimized picking paths, inventory updates, and safety instructions in AR, streamlining operations and minimizing errors.
• Construction Site Safety: Engineers and site supervisors can utilize Spatial IQ to identify potential hazards and ensure workers follow safety protocols through real-time monitoring and guidance provided by avatars.
• Retail Staff Training: New employees can engage in interactive AR modules to familiarize themselves with store layouts, products, and customer service scenarios. Avatars act as mentors, providing guidance and feedback to enhance customer interactions.

Key Benefits:

• Accelerated Training: Reduce training time by up to 60% through interactive AR and avatar guidance.
• Enhanced Knowledge Retention: Improve knowledge retention by up to 70% with visual and hands-on learning experiences.
• Operational Error Reduction: Minimize errors with precise, real-time instructions and feedback.
• Cost Savings: Decrease training costs by reducing the need for physical supervision and equipment.
• Continuous Learning and Improvement: Leverage performance analytics to identify strengths and areas for growth, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Future-Ready Training for a Changing World

As organizations continue to face challenges in upskilling their workforce and maintaining operational efficiency, Spatial IQ provides a solution that bridges the gap between learning and doing. By delivering on-the-job training and guidance in a scalable, cost-effective way, Spatial IQ empowers users to perform at their best in any environment, whether they are novice learners or seasoned professionals.
