Atlas Direction is a company that handles system and application development and consulting, centered around the remote support service "Atlas Direction," which utilizes smart glasses, tablets, smartphones, and PCs. "Atlas Direction" provides a mechanism for on-site use that allows a remote supervisor to support work while viewing video, by sharing the worker's viewpoint video and audio in real-time. "Atlas Direction" supports PCs, tablets, and smartphones (iOS/Android/Windows) on the supervisor's side, and smart glasses (EPSON MOVERIO, Vuzix, etc.) equipped with Android and Android tablets on the worker's side. A key feature is the ability to share video and documents while continuing tasks that require both hands. WebRTC is used for communication, and by primarily establishing direct peer-to-peer (P2P) communication between terminals after connection, low-latency, high-quality video calls are realized. Communication is encrypted, and even the relay server used when direct connection is not possible is designed so that communication content cannot be read due to encryption. ● Main
