3D Digital Twins

Visualise and interact with realistic 3D models in context, reducing costs and saving time.

Physical items, such as large scale machinery, aren’t always accessible for training purposes.
‍
The value of Augmented Reality is that it can be used to place scalable 3D replicas in any physical environment, such as a training room, boardroom or home. Users can interact and engage with both the detailed external and internal components of these digital twins, customising elements in real-time.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Overlay digital instructions onto real-world objects,

improving efficiency and reducing the risk of human-error.

Paper-based checklists and printed manuals are becoming outdated and can leave room for human error, increasing the risk of rework and injury.

Augmented Reality can be applied in these scenarios to instruct and guide staff in real-time. By overlaying step-by-step instructions onto physical equipment or a specific environment, complex tasks can be completed safely and efficiently. Integrating these tools with your existing systems can also ensure accurate record-keeping.

Real-Time Data Overlays

Project real-time data onto physical items,

improving monitoring and minimising downtime.

Lack of on-site, real-time information means problems can arise without warning.
‍
Pulling your data into a single application and bringing it to life in Augmented Reality ensures your team can see live performance information in-situ. Any issues can then be addressed immediately, which prevents unnecessary downtime.

Remote Assistance

Connect in-field technicians with remote off-site support,

minimising downtime and transferring knowledge.

Across vast sites, it isn’t always possible to have more experienced technicians in the right place at the right time.
‍
The remote capabilities of Augmented Reality 3D Visualisation, combined with live video streaming, allows onsite technicians to provide over-the-shoulder support wherever they are. They can directly see what the team member in the field is seeing and can guide them by drawing into their field of view. This reduces repair times and ensures safe working practices.

Digital Storytelling

Bring brands to life with immersive and interactive activations,

increasing customer engagement and driving loyalty.

In crowded markets, traditional marketing approaches struggle to cut through the noise to reach the target audience.
‍
Brand activations integrating Augmented Reality create dynamic and engaging experiences to be enjoyed anywhere. They can be used to enhance product packaging, enable customers to try before they buy, and maximise existing social media campaigns.

Common Questions

You might ask...

What is Augmented Reality?

Augmented Reality (AR) is a 3D visualisation technology that has been around since the 1960's. It uses the camera on a mobile device, tablet or pair of smart glasses to add a 3D layer of digital content to the real world. This content can include text, visual animations, video, and audio.

What are the emerging applications of Augmented Reality?

Due to ongoing advancements in hardware, Augmented Reality (AR) has matured into a technology with various applications in multiple sectors - retail, education, advertising, healthcare, engineering, and manufacturing. There has been a rapid uptake of AR in industrial sectors, due to its ability to streamline maintenance processes, enhance safety, and deliver remote assistance.

What is the difference between an AR app and WebAR?

In some instances, users need to download a mobile application to access the Augmented Reality experience. This app is usually available from the iOS or Android store. However, recent advancements in technology mean AR content can now be viewed directly through a web browser as well. This does not require the user to download an app. They can access WebAR experiences simply by going to a dedicated URL.

How long does it take to build an Augmented Reality experience?

This depends on the complexity of the solution. Once we identify how you'd like to apply the technology, we will be able to give you indicative timelines.
