“How can Augmented Reality come to my aid as I face my biggest challenge since joining PDSVISION?

Making the traditional Christmas “Puff Pastry Stars” for the office party!

See how my remote based team of happy helpers guide me through the night, with a little help from PTC Vuforia Chalk, until I reach the promised land of perfect Tähtitorttu’s.

Join me for a special Christmas edition of our ongoing series “The Handyman and The Gentleman” – where we light heartedly show you how Augmented Reality really is a practical solution for even this “toughest of the tough” festive challenges.

Watch below!
