Hexagon expands its smart digital reality capabilities with the acquisition of Immersal

Hexagon AB announced the acquisition of Immersal Oy, a pioneer and innovator of spatial mapping and visual positioning solutions used to produce augmented reality (AR) applications. AR applications enhance real-world experiences by augmenting a user’s visual perception with the display of digital content in the physical world. AR’s ability to weave context-specific, 3D information into physical spaces provides endless opportunities to save time, improve performance and reduce costs across a wide range of industries and applications – from surveying, construction, public safety and manufacturing to maintenance, training and navigation applications. The immersive experience can help boost task efficiency, improve safety protocols, optimise workflows, increase collaboration and much more. www.hexagon.com
