One of the most significant updates is the expanded end-device ecosystem, which now includes support for mixed reality headsets and smartphones. Additionally, Manifest 3.0 is a browser-based platform, enhancing its integrability with existing systems and workflows.

In a strategic move to deepen its partnership with Microsoft, Taqtile showcased its enhanced support for Microsoft services at the recent Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Taqtile’s commitment to Microsoft’s Unity-based Mixed Reality Toolkit 3 (MRTK3) further enhances the functionality of Manifest, preparing for the growing number of OpenXR devices expected in the coming years. By supporting MRTK3, Taqtile aims to deliver a more versatile and user-friendly AR application, with features like gesture recognition, rapid prototyping, and support for a wide range of MR devices.

With a history of collaboration with Microsoft to enhance its Manifest product, Taqtile continues to push the boundaries of AR technology in enterprise settings. The integration of Azure, MRTK3, and other Microsoft solutions underscores Taqtile’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge AR solutions for the workforce of the future.
