With Help Lightning, we have completely reimagined how businesses, customers and employees are able to give and receive help using merged reality.

We've made an experience that is easy, fast, intuitive and expansive.

We've eliminated the frustrations and inadequacies of phone or simple video chat, as well as dramatically reduced the need to drive or fly to interact in person. Whether you need to quickly solve problems for customers, assist newly on-boarded personnel, eliminate wasteful trips or differentiate the way your products are sold, implemented and serviced.

Customer Satisfaction

You've hit it directly. This service capability, whether it's laptops, desktops, whether it's servicing networks in a data center or whether it's healthcare... this is a no-brainer because you actually don't have to be there half the time.

Industry Expert

Help Lightning is reassuring and building confidence in our new field techs.

Beyond Face-to-Face

Beyond Face-to-Face

Once you're in a merged reality call with a colleague, customer or friend, simply tap to change how you interact. Choose whether you're giving or receiving help, and start collaborating in seconds. Merged reality adds missing visual cues, gestures, and non-verbal communication methods to any session.

Giving Help

Giving Help

If you've selected Give Help, simply place your hand, tools or other relevant objects behind your device. You'll see your hand appear on top of your colleague's image. For best results, use a white background such as a wall or piece of paper. Telestrate, freeze images, use hand gestures, pictures and even add real objects into the merged reality scene.

Receiving Help

Receiving Help

If you selected Receive Help, position your iPhone, iPad or Android device over something you're working on, like a circuit. When the person you need help from reaches behind his or her device, you'll instantly see the other person’s hand, tools or relevant objects necessary to help, appear merged with your normal image view.

Affordability and Simplicity

Superior Communication Paradigm of Virtual Presence

Mobile merged reality allows video interactions to have similar characteristics to in-person interactions with the delay and cost-like adding interlaced hand movement, gestures, visual clues, real remote objects, telestration, drawing, pointing and pictures.

Multiple studies show that adding gestures and nonverbal clues substantially improves speed of understanding, resulting in an enhanced recipient/customer perception of overall experience.*

* Journal of Nonverbal Behavior

Research also indicates that nonverbal cues are 430% more effective than verbal cues and that nonverbal cues make verbal/nonverbal communication combination up to 10 times more effective.**
