Reapse Consulting — Augmented Reality and Connected Glasses Expertise

Reapse Consulting is an independent consulting firm founded and led by Valerie Riffaud Cangelosi, specializing in augmented reality (AR) and connected glasses. The firm supports its clients in deciphering the opportunities offered by augmented reality, making informed and independent choices, and deploying solutions with high return on investment.

A Recognized AR Expertise Built on Ten Years of Field Experience

Valerie Riffaud Cangelosi is a recognized specialist in augmented reality and connected glasses, active in the field since 2011. She spent ten years piloting the deployment of connected glasses for a major manufacturer across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, where she developed in-depth knowledge of the market, the technologies, and the practical realities of large-scale AR adoption. This rare hands-on experience allows Reapse Consulting to offer its clients guidance grounded not in theory, but in the concrete challenges of deploying AR solutions in demanding industrial environments.

A Multi-Facet Client Base

Reapse Consulting serves four complementary types of clients:

• Investors: assessment of startups and emerging technologies in the AR and connected eyewear space, supporting investment decisions with rigorous technology and market analysis.

• Manufacturers: product roadmap definition, market positioning, and go-to-market strategy for connected devices.

• Optical, technology and luxury brands: strategic guidance on high-value eyewear, where design, brand identity, and technological innovation must converge.

• End customers: identification of use cases with strong return on investment, solution selection, and deployment support.

NEXT LENS — A Dedicated Project for the Post-HoloLens Era

With the discontinuation of Microsoft's HoloLens program, many organizations face the challenge of replacing their existing AR headsets. Reapse Consulting has developed the NEXT LENS project, dedicated specifically to accompanying these organizations in transitioning toward new connected glasses solutions. Drawing on a rigorous mapping of available technologies and a deep understanding of deployment constraints, NEXT LENS helps clients identify the solutions best suited to their use cases, their industrial environments, and their budgetary frameworks.

Industry-Focused AR Solutions

For industrial and enterprise clients — notably in manufacturing, logistics, and oil and gas — Reapse Consulting assists companies in deploying AR solutions: deciphering opportunities in augmented reality, making choices more easily and independently, and training teams on use cases with high return on investment, including remote assistance, guided workflows, and knowledge capture.

A Strong Presence in the AR Ecosystem

Beyond its consulting activity, Reapse Consulting is deeply embedded in the augmented reality ecosystem. Valerie Riffaud Cangelosi is Vice-President of RA'Pro, elected at the CNXR, a certified expert for France 2030, a member of the Virtual World Association, and facilitator of the SILMO Circle. This ecosystem involvement ensures that Reapse Consulting maintains a privileged, continuously updated view of technological developments, market dynamics, and the key players shaping the future of augmented reality and connected eyewear.

The Reapse Consulting Approach

Reapse Consulting distinguishes itself through an empathetic, partnership-driven approach. Rather than pushing specific products or vendors, the firm positions itself as an independent advisor, ensuring that client decisions are made freely and with full knowledge of the facts. This independence — technical, commercial, and strategic — is the foundation of the trust that clients place in the firm.

Whether you are an investor seeking to evaluate an emerging technology, a manufacturer shaping its product roadmap, a brand exploring high-value connected eyewear, or an enterprise looking to deploy AR solutions with measurable impact, Reapse Consulting offers the expertise, independence, and ecosystem access needed to move forward with confidence.
