The field must change to meet the changing times, while following most of the conventional method.
With the concept of “digital tools that can really be used in the field”,
ARGO verse provides simple, easy-to-use, and easy-to-understand tools at a reasonable price.
ARGO was selected as one of the Top 10 AR/VR Solution Companies in Silicon Valley for 2020!

You can create images of non-existent objects at will.
Using the latest 3DCG technology, we can make it look like an actual product or building.
Rather than using still images such as photographs, perspective drawings, or illustrations to convey images, using 3DCG video enables visual explanations of technology, and allows the person to whom the image is conveyed (engineer or customer) to deeply and accurately understand the superior points.
The work can be visualized in 3DCG so that inexperienced workers can follow each step of the process without fail.
A tablet attached to the workbench allows the operator to quickly check the work manual for necessary points during work.
The information on work points, procedures, product structure, tools used, etc. can be looked up at any time without the need for a skilled worker.
