Business value

Annotations are a core piece of the Dynamics 365 Remote Assist functionality because they enable technicians and remote collaborators to easily specify an area or particular asset to look at or manipulate, rather than trying to verbally convey this information to an inexperienced technician. Improved annotation accuracy will allow users to better communicate through the Dynamics 365 Remote Assist mobile experience.

Feature details

Dynamics 365 Remote Assist on mobile will take advantage of the new Depth API on Android as well as the LiDAR sensor available on certain iOS devices. This will result in significantly improved location accuracy for annotations.
