We are using Space1 as the software platform for communicating with the AR headset.
Login here to call the headset and use the communication tools:

Within the call you can,
- share screen with the headset
- control the headset (camera zoom, flashlight, volume, etc)
- send files, pictures, 3D models
- draw on their camera feed and draw on a whiteboard
- chat via text
We were able to establish calls from psconsole to the headset over EDUROAM wifi in the FEH.

Robotic assistants
We have purchased two remote presence robots to assist remote viewing and debugging of instrumentation at beam height where fixed overhead web cameras may have difficulty looking while an area is locked during beam delivery. https://www.doublerobotics.com/double3.html
