Deployment
8 trainers operational after one day
In our deployments, one day of training is enough: trainers create their first tutorial that same afternoon, then work on their own from the next day.
Result: 8 trainers operational at D+1.
Emergency services
Many vehicles, rare tasks: the right procedure, at the moment of action
Firefighters, civil protection, emergency medical services, and the schools that train them: the responder follows the procedure in augmented reality, on the real vehicle or equipment, both hands free. The expert passes it on once, in a few minutes. Everything works without a network, artificial intelligence included, and no data passes to the software publisher.
- 100% offlineAppliance bay, workshop, training room, isolated network: nothing to connect, nothing to open, artificial intelligence included.
- No data held by the software publisher
We don’t know what our customers do, and we don’t need to know.
Emmanuel Bricard, co-founder. - Hands-freeThe instruction is displayed on the vehicle or equipment, right where action is needed: both hands stay on the tool.
Your challenges
Many vehicles and pieces of equipment, interventions that cannot wait.
A varied vehicle fleet
Fire and rescue appliances, ladders, boats, civil protection vehicles: each has its own operating and maintenance procedures.
Rare tasks
Some equipment is used only a few times a year: it must be possible to review it just before acting.
Teams that change
Volunteers and professionals, rotating shifts, departures: know-how must stay in the station.
When teams rotateNot always a network
At the station as in the field, training cannot depend on a connection.
100% offlineFor your trainers
Our tutorials do not replace your trainers. They multiply them.
They are the ones who create them
Your trainers create, improve and keep the tutorials alive.
Time for every trainee
The tutorial takes over the repetition of the task: they deal with increasingly mixed levels and give tailored support to those who need it, helping more of them succeed.
Their know-how stays
Your training standard incorporates the best of your past, present and future trainers.

Use cases
From vehicles to equipment, from the station to the school.
Getting started with vehicles
Operating and checking a vehicle, guided on the vehicle itself, for every newcomer.
Through-life support
Vehicles, boats, civil protection aircraft: the expert’s procedure available in the workshop, for whoever succeeds them.
Specialist equipment
Rescue, extrication or detection equipment: review how to operate it before you need it.
Equipment checks
Checks shown at the workstation, in the right order, verified with a quiz.
Emergency medical services
Vehicles and emergency equipment: the task done with confidence, even on equipment that is rarely used.
Emergency medical servicesSchools and training centres
The technical task shown on the real equipment, to review as often as needed.
SchoolsEmergency medical services
Emergency medical services: equipment ready, the task done with confidence.
Vehicles, emergency equipment, on-board equipment: every team must know how to operate and check them, including those that are rarely used.
Vehicles and on-board equipment
Checks and operation shown on the vehicle, for every newcomer.
Rarely used equipment
Review a piece of equipment just before you need it, on the equipment itself.
Rotating teams
New clinical staff, reinforcements, shifts: everyone finds the same procedure, shown the same way.
In hospitals too
Biomedical engineering, sterilization, care units: the skill stays in the department.
Schools
Firefighter and civil protection schools: more practice for every trainee.
Many trainees, trainers in high demand, a limited number of vehicles and pieces of equipment: everyone must be able to practise on the real equipment.
Independent practical work
While one group follows the tutorial, the trainer supports those who need it.
Practise as much as needed
The task rehearsed outside sessions, on the real equipment. The tutorial trains: it replaces neither the trainer nor the drill.
Trainers who change
The tutorial created by a trainer stays at the school when they move to another posting.
Checking what is understood
A quiz checks that the trainee has understood; the trainer sees where people get stuck, and on which step.
Our hardware advice
The hardware suited to your conditions of use, not the latest fashion.
Having worked in industry ourselves, we advise our customers as we would have done for ourselves: the device suited to your conditions of use, the length of your programs and your budget. Only operational solutions.
Isolated network
Devices that work without any connection, from first to last use.
Conditions of use
Appliance bays, workshops, vehicles, training grounds: we advise you on the hardware suited to your environment. Some conditions (outdoors, cold, explosive atmospheres) require a case-by-case study.
Your budget
Just the hardware needed: neither the latest fad nor a cheaper but unreliable solution.
Turnkey: we configure each device and fit it with the necessary accessories, so that it works in your environment and with your constraints. What we prepare
Works on: Microsoft HoloLens 2, Arvicom CART-S, Samsung Galaxy XR, VITURE Luma Ultra XR, XREAL Aura and VIVE Eagle, and soon Arvicom CART-3D. Your content does not depend on a device.

Industrial research
A boiler manufacturing plant: the method evaluated against Guides
Our method stems from work carried out with Institut Mines-Télécom in a boiler manufacturing plant. It was compared with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guides.
Result: a study published at IEEE ISMAR 2022, the leading international conference on augmented reality.
Funding and procurement
Simple purchasing.
An off-the-shelf solution, on quotation. It is up to the buyer to qualify their contract, according to the rules that apply to them.
Licences on quotation
One licence per device, glasses or headset, with volume discounts, and one licence for the PC application. Your choice: annual licences, multi-year licences or licences for the lifetime of the hardware. A quotation based on your project.
One day to get started
A one-hour scoping session by video call, one day on site with up to 8 of your experts, then standard project management. Additional support days when your project requires them.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions.
Does it work without any network, at the station as in the field?
Yes. No connection is required, whether to create, to learn or to track learners. The artificial intelligence (transcription, translation, voice) also runs on your computers, offline.
Doesn’t staff rotation cancel out the effort?
On the contrary: the tutorial stays in the station when the technician leaves. Their successor finds it on the same equipment, and can improve it in turn: your training standard keeps the best of everyone who has held the post.
Our procedures are in the manufacturer’s official documentation. What is a tutorial for?
The official documentation remains the reference. The tutorial complements it: it shows the task on the vehicle or equipment, right where action is needed, and can be updated in a few minutes when the documentation changes.
It also makes training far more engaging and effective, particularly for younger generations. And it enables independent training, where there is no safety risk for learners.
Finally, it becomes your training standard: all learners are trained the same way, and this standard improves continuously, incorporating the best of your past, present and future trainers.
Does the tutorial replace mandatory training?
No. It trains for the task and tells you who has followed what; training and certifications are still issued according to your rules.
HoloLens 2 is no longer manufactured, and its security updates continue until December 2027 for connected devices. What happens to the investment?
At SHIFT89, we support HoloLens 2 until at least the end of 2030, so you can use your investment for longer. #AugmentedTraining needs no connection to work: your HoloLens 2 headsets can therefore be disconnected from Wi-Fi, for maximum security.
Your content does not depend on a single device: several augmented-reality glasses and headsets are compatible. We advise you, completely independently, on the one that suits your operating conditions and your budget.
All content created with #AugmentedTraining on HoloLens 2 can be reused, without being redone, on the new glasses and headsets we support.
Let’s talk about your station or your school.
A 30-minute to 2-hour demonstration, on a vehicle or piece of equipment of your choice, on an isolated network if needed.
