About
Founded in 2016 by Ryan Groom and Duncan McSporran, Kognitiv Spark built RemoteSpark for the case where the person who can fix the machine is on another continent. A worker wearing a headset gets a live low-bandwidth video link, with manuals and 3D animations placed in their line of sight and their hands free to work. Groom's 2018 TechTO example was a plant in Chile, equipment built in Iceland and a head office in Atlantic Canada. The company works with industrial and defence customers and has offices in the UK and US.

Quick answers
What is RemoteSpark?
Mixed-reality remote support. A technician wears a headset and sees a remote expert, the relevant documents and 3D models while keeping both hands on the job.
Why low bandwidth?
Because the sites that need it — plants, vessels, remote installations — rarely have good connectivity. The product is built to work on a thin, secure link.
Who uses it?
Industrial and defence organisations. CBC reported in December 2025 on its use from power plants to battlefields.
