Where many AR solutions aim to fill the user’s entire field of view, Amalgamated Vision takes a different path. Its lightweight display systems present critical information only when needed and just outside the standard line of sight—providing subtle, high-clarity visual cues that support real-time decision-making without visual clutter or cognitive overload.

“For more than a decade, we’ve questioned the dominant narrative about what AR should look like,” said CEO Adam Davis. “We’re building tools for people who need focus, not distraction—whether they’re servicing an aircraft on the tarmac or performing complicated medical tasks in remote, high-risk environments.”

Amalgamated Vision collaborates with U.S. defense and aerospace partners on cutting-edge use cases, including aircraft maintenance and remote medical guidance for future space missions.

“Joining AREA allows us to engage with a community that understands both the promise and the complexity of enterprise AR,” Davis added. “It’s the right forum for sharing our vision and connecting with like-minded partners who can help bring it to scale.”

“We are thrilled to have Amalgamated Vision as a member of the AREA,” said Mark Sage, Executive Director of AREA. “Their innovative approach to AR—delivering mission-critical data through unobtrusive, retinal-based displays—addresses a major challenge in high-risk enterprise environments. Their work across defense, aerospace, and medical sectors exemplifies the forward-thinking use cases that help drive the industry forward.”

“As AR gains traction across industries, enterprises seek more accessible ways to create and deploy immersive experiences. Traditional AR development often requires deep technical knowledge, costly resources, and lengthy timelines — barriers that have limited adoption-to-pilots, proofs-of-concept, and wider deployments,” said Mark Sage, Executive Director of the AREA. “Low-code and no-code platforms offer a practical and promising entry point for enterprises looking to adopt AR, especially for teams with limited technical resources.”

The report:

• Introduces the core concepts of low-code and no-code platforms and explains how they intersect with AR technologies.
• Maps the low-code and no-code to-full-code spectrum, helping organizations understand usability, customization, scalability, and security trade-offs.
• Provides industry case studies across manufacturing, healthcare, education, and marketing, demonstrating successful enterprise adoption.
• Offers a decision matrix to help organizations evaluate platform suitability for AR needs.
• Highlights both the opportunities and potential pitfalls of low-code and no-code solutions, such as superficial deployments, technical limitations, and long-term scalability concerns.

“The JoI now has an expanded scope to include articles from OMG’s consortia, including the OMG Standards Development Organization, the Augmented Reality for Enterprise Alliance (AREA), and Digital Twin Consortium® (DTC),” said Bassam Zarkout, CEO of IGnPower and Co-chair of OMG’s Thought Leadership Group. “We are thrilled to present the latest edition of the JoI under the expanded scope. This edition explores the theme of Pioneering Innovations in Aviation and Aerospace.”

The three articles in this edition include:

• Guiding Supply Chain Security in Aeronautic Development – by MITRE and Boeing – Assessing aeronautics supply chain risks is complex due to the lack of standardized risk sets, evaluation practices, and result communication methods. This article proposes leveraging System of Trust™ (SoT) to address these challenges. The article also discusses NASA’s effort to demonstrate real-world consequences and cost impacts on Boeing and Airbus due to supply structure changes and volatility. This work leveraged MITRE’s efforts to standardize security measurement and demonstrate its application and outcomes.
• Advancing Space Technology for ISAM Maturity and Success – by Dassault Systèmes – Like the golden age of flight 100 years ago, today we are in the golden age of commercial space. New space missions – in this case, In-Space Service, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) – enable space capabilities to expand the space economy, improve life on Earth, and extend our use of space farther than ever.
• Digital Engineering Enables Innovative Hardware Integration Opportunities in Aerospace – by SimVentions – Avionics systems need reliability and redundancy but face budget and time constraints. The US Navy’s Hardware Open Systems Technology (HOST) standard provides a modular and open approach for hardware interoperability and reuse. However, reliance on homegrown tools limits its long-term value and data reliability. SimVentions’ research for the US Navy led to the creation of the HOST Hardware Integration Toolkit (HHITS), demonstrating DE’s value in enabling transformative automation and integration for avionics systems.
