TwinWorks for technical training

Technical training built from your reviewed procedures.

Visual steps, narration in your team’s language, and practice records, reused from the same content as your manuals.

01 / AR demonstrations · limited beta

Optional: show the step
on the machine itself.

For prepared setups, AR puts the reviewed step in the learner’s field of view: highlight the part and replay the action. Every learner can follow the same steps in a browser.

1. Find the vise.

Find the fixture that holds the workpiece on the table.

AR · limited betaFor prepared setups only: we set up the procedure, tracking anchors and headset with you in a pilot.

02 / Images & video

A closer look.
As many times as it takes.

Use annotated images and short videos to explain the detail. Pause or replay at any time.

Step narration

STEP 02 / LOCATE THE WORKPIECE

The workpiece sits between the two jaws. Identify the fixed jaw, then compare it with the movable jaw.

03 / Multilingual narration

Explain it in
their language.

Pair each visual step with narration in your team’s language. Review the terminology, then let learners listen at their own pace.

In this example, as in the TwinWorks viewer, narration uses the voices available in your browser.

04 / Contextual AI explanations

A question comes up.
The context stays.

Ask about the current part or step. Follow the answer back to its source.

Which jaw stays in place?

The fixed jaw, labelled 01, stays in place in this illustration. The movable jaw, labelled 03, faces it across the workpiece.

05 / Practical exercise records

Keep what happened
during practice.

Keep completed steps, timings, and learner observations ready for instructor review.

Supervised exercise

Find it. Explain it.
Discuss what is unclear.

One task. Connected explanations.

Build from your reviewed procedures, images, and videos. When a procedure changes, the training content that reuses it is flagged for review.

Augmented reality

Learn on the real machine.

Learners point a phone or tablet at the machine. The parts for each step are highlighted on it, in the browser, with no app to install.

A few practical questions.

Can we use AR on a headset?

AR on a headset is available as a limited beta for prepared setups; we can explore it in a pilot.

Do all learners need a headset?

No. Learners can access visual procedures and explanations in a compatible browser. AR is optional.

Can we use our own images, videos, and procedures?

Yes. Build from existing material, with experts reviewing instructions and translated terminology before publication.

What do completion and replay records tell us?

When reporting is enabled, records show completion, timing, replays, and observations. They support instructor follow-up; they do not establish competence or certification.

Can schools and universities use TwinWorks for free?

Yes. Education licenses are free for teaching, student projects and non-commercial research. See TwinWorks for education.
