Dirt, Code & Creativity: Kognitiv Spark Devs Having Fun

Construction of RemoteSpark, a mixed reality system for remote worker support, isn’t like coding a traditional web application, analytics processing algorithm, or command-line tool. We’re building a spatial computing application and that comes with unique challenges. 

My team and I focus on finding new ways to augment the effectiveness of the Microsoft HoloLens so that our customers can focus on the task at hand. We continuously push to lessen a worker’s cognitive burden with advanced technology. 

We still have the daily grind of wrapping the creative outputs with standard requirements like user management, security, and database interfaces but the true joy comes from building useful and reliable spatial computing applications, especially using our in-house rendering engine SparkPlug.  

For me, creativity exists at the intersection of play and problem solving and has always been at the core of who I am and what we’re building here with the Kognitiv Spark dev team. 

We take our work seriously and have learned to fall in love with the problem of delivering support into low-connectivity environments via spatial computing. What we do for fun after hours is a different question entirely. 

This video will give you a good idea of how our team blows off steam and merges the HoloLens with another one of my hobby projects with the work we do at Kognitiv Spark. 

A wrench, a few nuts and bolts, and a HoloLens, — how does it get any better?
