Business value

Spatial tracking is fundamental to the Dynamics 365 Remote Assist mobile app because it is the first task every technician must do when they join a Dynamics 365 Remote Assist mobile call. They must scan their surroundings so that the app detects surfaces, which allows them to more precisely place annotations in their environment. By improving users' understanding of spatial tracking, users can now better place their annotations and provide more accurate instructions.

Feature details

This feature includes the following capabilities for 2020 release wave 2:

  • Better messaging with animations to help educate technicians on how to scan their environment.
  • Better messaging on how to regain lost tracking.
