  • Allow the use of high quality or complex 3D models in Guides by integrating with Azure Remote Rendering Service

    Tue, 23 Jun 2020 18:44:06 GMT – Dynamics 365 Guides – Under Review 

    In some situations a much higher quality of 3D models is required during a training. It is also possible to extend the functionality van Microsoft Guides to for example a form of digital twin with real-time information through Power Apps. In that case a more detailed model is required. Current Microsoft Guides does not allow models that big. That means you need to build a custom solution which for the most part does the same as Microsoft Guides. It would be great to have large models streamed into Microsoft Guides steps by integrating Microsoft Guides with Azure Remote Rendering Service.

  • Have more control over the flow of steps

    At the moment an user can step through the steps defined in a training. The user can skip steps and even click further without doing the step. It would be great to have more control over these steps. Think of a way (maybe through Power Apps) where you can make sure foe example that the user fulfills a questionnaire before allowed to go to the next step. An example is using the training as an exam where users should execute and answers questions during each step. It would be great if based on such a questionnaire or action of the user another path of steps can be taken.

  • Automatic loading of action in step

    Currently only the user can activate an action by clicking on the symbol. The symbol is small and in some cases an user does not know that there is something additionally. In some cases it is important to present information to the user or have them executing a questionnaire. It would be great to have a flag per step specifying to directly show and activate the action.

  • Remote Assist between two Microsoft HoloLens 2 devices

    The idea is actually simple and logical. It came from a workshop we had with a liquid gas transportation company. They have a large amount of ships transporting liquid gas. If there are issues with the engine, often the expert is the same engineer on another ship working in the engine room. It would be great if the engineer on ship 1 can call the other engineer on ship 2 both via a Microsoft HoloLens 2 device. They can help each other with annotations and making comparisons. Both need there hands free.
