Abstract
To facilitate virtual training, employee on-boarding, knowledge transfer and remote assistance, embodiments provide a digital note viewable in a virtual environment which may be attached to a physical machine and viewable when a user is engaged with the system. When a user sees the machine through either an augmented reality device or a virtual reality device, the digital note is displayable and selectable. Selection of the digital note access information stored in association with the note and the object the note is attached to. The note may be modified in one instance, which synchronizes the note in any other instances. For example, modifying a digital note attached to a physical object in an AR environment causes a copy of the digital note to be modified in the same way in a digital twin of the object in a VR environment.
