FREE in the App Store

When we're tech junkies, we get called on all the time to help with the electronics. With this app, you'll be able to help remotely, just by drawing in virtual chalk on a live image and writing instructions.

Truly interactive help desk app. This is a truly interactive app, allowing both callers to share views and draw on the screen together.

Draw and write on their screen. Help your friends and family by drawing and writing instructions directly to their screen.

What is it about?

Once you install Vuforia Chalk, you just need to add those contacts who typically call you up for help. They'll get an invite to install the app, which hopefully they'll be able to handle on their own. Then, the next time they have a technological woe or three, all they have to do is call you from within the app.

Why we love it

Once you start sharing the view, they can even draw on the screen themselves. That means Mom or Dad can quickly and easily show you what buttons they've already tried (if they remember). You can also see things they want to draw to your attention. Forget about trying to visualize things in your head, because Vuforia Chalk lets you see it in real-time. As you draw or write on the screen, an undo button lets you get back to how things were before. Probably the coolest feature of Vuforia Chalk is the app's use of augmented reality via Apple's ARKit. Because of this, your chalk marks and writing stick to where you placed them. If you or your friend move the camera around, your chalk circles and diagrams will stay right where you put them. With Vuforia Chalk, you might never have to leave your house again to help friends and family out with their technology woes. This is a handy app that truly makes tech support fun and easy.

App Store Description

Vuforia Chalk facilitates AR remote assistance between your experts and field technicians. It's an easy way to solve complex or unfamiliar problems.

Your organization can benefit via reduced repair time and travel costs, as well as better knowledge transfer from an aging workforce to new employee technicians, with the devices already in their hands.

The powerful remote guidance experience of Vuforia Chalk combines live video, audio and the ability for both the remote and local participant to annotate their live shared view. Annotations in Chalk accurately stick to real-world objects, even when people move around, utilizing advanced augmented reality developed on the best-in-class Vuforia AR platform.

Vuforia Chalk enhances troubleshooting and support far beyond simple "see what I see" apps. What will you 'Chalk' first?
