This is a large basis for our analysis and working to bring some of the disparate technologies and subject matter experts together to help expedite its adoption within pertinent program offices at GSA. As with many emerging technologies the implementation and crossing of ecosystems may not always be aligned at the perfect time for all to grasp where the focus should be. While these are just a few examples of potential use cases there are definitely possibilities for moving the cultural and strategic thinking in this direction. The concept of being able to remotely analyze issues and possibly fix or notify the nearest location and set up an appointment to get under the actual hood might save countless hours of work that normally couldn’t start until the vehicle is physically in the shop.
Facilities walkthrough using hololens during the RFP process or during industry day would enable potential bidders to see near-firsthand the exact conditions of a facility.In such a scenario one or multiple senior subject matter experts could remotely walk a junior engineer or technician through an on-site repair. Building inspections, real estate touring, general maintenance, and other explorations of physical properties in remote locations might be handled remotely with the proper on-site sensors, small to large maneuverable devices controlled with hand motions or other gestures and even simple joysticks.Imagine a glove a user might wear that would allow them to virtually hold a simulated pen in their hand in freespace then write on a digital pad they’re holding in the other hand. The type of experience that VP would deliver could allow physical aspects to be simulated in a way that breakout sessions, gathering around a whiteboard, taking notes with a digital pen on a virtual pad of paper come to life via sensors and the actions or motions of the participants. Immersive training rooms would allow the users to feel side by side and ‘present’ beyond the traditional powerpoint and webinar atmosphere currently used to bring a class together for learning.The idea is more like being one of multiple avatars that are a persona of the person present in the Virtual Space. This is not just a Telepresence representation in 2D, but rather the ability to ‘feel’ and ‘respond’ with more than just audio & video like in traditional video mediums. Office-like experiences could enable teams to interact with each other as if they were actually there in one space.Some potential use cases we’ve identified include, but are not limited to the following: The following possibilities are solutions based on existing technologies highlighted in our Companies and Contracts section. We are currently exploring some of these within GSA and expect to provide additional information as it becomes available. However, innovation in this area across Industry, Academia and Federal entities have been used to provide services that GSA would potentially benefit from.
Possible Applications at GSAĪt the time of publishing, we have not identified any current efforts toward providing an immersive Virtual Presence (VP) at GSA. It utilizes technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) to deliver this experience. Virtual Presence (VP) is an immersive environment that enables users to feel as if they are physically present at an actual location with other users.
