Hello everyone, I was hoping if you could help me with something. I work in a company where an experience tech isn't located on site. I was hoping if I could use an Ipad over wifi for the offsite tech to be able to view and speak with people at the local site on a computer even though he isn't there.

So the people at the site would have the ipad and earpods that they can move around and perhaps circle stuff for augmented reality and the offsite tech would be viewing and speaking to the onsite person through his computer. I would like to use wifi if I can.


Thanks,

-Mike
 
I think what's needed is FaceTime, Skype, Google Hangouts, WhatsApp, etc, not AR. Alas, I don't think markup (e.g. circling stuff) is possible on live video streams.

Note, iirc, FaceTime would require the offsite tech to use a Mac.

I’m pretty sure that it’s possible.
 
I am sure AR is possible someplace out there as well. I tried finding it but came up with nothing. Thanks for the recommendations on Facetime...etc. I will definitely look into it.

If anybody knows of AR or any better options please let me know.
