Global augmented reality company partners with tech giant to release Light Guide Stratus on the Sprout Pro by HP Immersive Computing platform

WIXOM, Mich., Sept. 5, 2018-Light Guide Systems, an augmented reality tool that transforms manual assembly and manufacturing processes for companies worldwide, joined forces with multinational information technology company HP, Inc. to release a powerful new tech tool—Light Guide Stratus. Leveraging the immersive computing platform Sprout Pro by HP, Light Guide Stratus harnesses the power of augmented reality (AR) technology in a flexible, adaptable benchtop platform for assembly processes.

Light Guide Stratus builds on the companys successful initial partnership for Light Guide Systems Pro, which launched in 2016. The Stratus system brings a new level of flexibility by integrating the Sprout Pro by HP directly into a bench structure to increase the display surface area and free up critical space on the workstation. This expanded workspace can be used to integrate new types of applications and tools for a particular assembly sequence.
"The launch of Light Guide Stratus is a testament to the growing demand for flexible and powerful AR guidance systems," said Paul Ryznar, OPS Solutions founder, president and CEO. "We knew that Light Guide Systems Pro brought a critical level of functionality and flexibility to improve outcomes for nearly any industry. We expect Light Guide Stratus to address even more applications and become an integral part of assembly and manufacturing operations for companies in every space, from medical to auto to aerospace and energy."
Light Guide Systems radically improves manufacturing and assembly processes by projecting a digital operating "canvas" onto virtually any work surface to provide audio and visual prompts, guidance, pacing and direction. Light Guide Systems Pro takes the tool to the next level by incorporating its proprietary software into the powerful yet compact Sprout Pro PC platform. Now Light Guide Stratus takes user experience into account with a flexible and repeatable design that opens up a workspace to tackle nearly any process and application—no matter how complex or challenging.
Designed to be versatile, intuitive and user-friendly, Light Guide Stratus utilizes all of the Sprout Pro platform features, such as a 2D and 3D scanner and two screens used to transform objects from the physical to digital space, allowing for innumerable applications in the manufacturing, design, education and commercial fields.
"HPs Sprout Pro with Light Guide Systems reduces training time and improves quality in manufacturing assembly through projection and scanning in an augmented reality platform," said Louis Kim, vice president and general manager of Immersive Computing, HP Inc. Light Guide Stratus demonstrates the flexibility of the Sprout Pro platform combined with Light Guides innovation and leadership."
Light Guide Stratus is currently available worldwide and can be seen in action at the Assembly Show, Oct. 23-25 in Rosemont, Illinois. Visit www.lightguidesys.com
