AI Synthesis of Procedural Videos from Raw Video Input from Frontline Workers Recorded Advanced Troubleshooting and Complex Maintenance Sessions$726Kvalue2026start2027end

The project builds a foundation for continuous learning and operational resilience across industry and defense. We are revolutionizing knowledge capture for industrial and defense sectors with an AI-driven platform powered by Vision-Language Models. The system transforms raw video from smart glasses, cameras, mobiles, and drones into a searchable library of concise, AI-generated procedural videos. By recording real-world workflows as they're performed, the AI can produce standard operating procedure videos. Features include natural language and image search, precise moment retrieval, and depl

Realtime Viewport Holographic Rendering by Querying Remote Geometric Data Store$392Kvalue2019start2021end

The project will undertake the task of determining how to best store geometric content in a cloud based data store and determine how to transmit the least amount of information from the server to minimize the network traffic and to provide the data in a way that the rendering device can render that information with the least amount of computing resources (RAM, CPU, and GPU). The goal is the ability to load large geometric scenes in the cloud and have only the sub-set required to be sent to the local rendering device.

Bi-Directional Holographic Manipulation$264Kvalue2018start2019end

The project is to provide a low latency cross platform method of sending holographic transforms (X,Y,Z, Rotation, Scale) within a video frame to allow the rendering of the video with the hologram composited for display on a 2D device. In turn, build a method to send desired holographic transforms from the 2D rendering surface (via touch, mouse and pen) back to the holographic rendering device to have the hologram transform from input from the 2D device.

Knowledge Graph Creation and Retrieval for Advanced Frontline Troubleshooting/Maintenance Assistance for Smart Glass Applications Harnessing AI$256Kvalue2025start2026end

This project will focus on creating a digital knowledge graph of institutional knowledge, unwritten procedures, and workplace wisdom by summarizing live support video calls and documents used to assist in achieving a resolution during advanced troubleshooting and complex maintenance using bleeding edge AI techniques.

Youth - Magic Leap 2 Suitability Determination$30.0Kvalue2023start2023end

This proof of concept will involve an attempt to successfully run, as a minimum viable product, a subset of RemoteSpark features on the Magic Leap 2 device.

Youth Employment Program$30.0Kvalue2024start2024end

This position will play a critical role in ensuring the quality and performance of our current product line through rigorous QA processes. The intern will contribute to the development and testing of REST API integrations that are essential for our IoT and AI platforms. This position offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced, tech-driven environment, working alongside industry experts to gain real world work experience. The second part of the project will be to assist fine tuning the RemoteSpark interface on the Magic Leap 2 device. As Magic Leap 2 is a new device

Natural Language Processing (NLP) Integration into 2D and 3D Unity Project$30.0Kvalue2026start2026end

Integrate natural language queries into the Unity 2D and 3D versions of RemoteSpark using voice input. This work will build on Project 1030178 and implement its capabilities in the production client. The effort will involve sampling microphone input and triggering voice commands and content requests without interfering with conversations taking place during the video and audio call.

Youth-Green - SimplyGon Mastery$10.0Kvalue2018start2018end

Develop a mastery in Microsoft SimplyGon to determine when this 3D model compression features are applicable. Overly complex models may not render in an acceptable manner and require reduction before Holographic display. This mastery will allow the automation of reduction replacing a manual process.

Youth-Green - CAD File Format Conversion$10.0Kvalue2018start2018end

The project is to extend the range of 3D file formats that we can convert for RemoteSpark. Autodesk has a newly launched cloud-based 3D file conversion tool which we need to integrate into our conversion pipeline. This will extend our supported file formats from 2 to 60.

Youth-Green - IoT/AI Usage Scerario$8.8Kvalue2019start2019end

This project is to build complex usage scenarios which pushes the boundaries of the capabilities of the RemoteSpark system built by Kognitiv Spark. It will consist of using physical objects (like a pump) and building a digital twin (hologram) of the physical objects that leverages the IoT, AI and Live Hologram capabilities of the RemoteSpark system. This will provide technical validation that the RemoteSpark system operates as designed in complex usage scenarios. It will also provide a test case that can be used in various Microsoft Technology Centers around the world to reduce the travel requ
