At Expand Reality we like to put ourselves in the customers position and explain the offers from different market leading manufacturers in ways the audience will understand, starting with the Why?
Why am I or should I be interested in Augmented Reality solutions?
As we asked ourselves the same questions here are four reasons that might just resonate:-
- Cut the time it takes to complete a project by 90% - Lockheed Martin.
- Save 90.7% on training new employees in complex industrial machinery - PBC Linear.
- Cut airmiles, travel costs and increase Senior Engineer productivity 10 X - CH Four Biogas.
- Increase CSR, green credentials, reduce carbon footprint.
How you can achieve these stunning numbers, any board member will sit up and pay attention to, is by looking at the market leaders in Augmented Reality, like Microsoft's HoloLens 2.
Whilst the device looks a bit space aged the principle is very simple:
- See digital information at the same time as being able to see the real world.
- In Lockheed Martin's case this allowed technicians to insert rivets in the Orion Space rockets hull without:-
- Carrying a manual or measuring device.
- Measuring where the next rivet needed to go
Sounds simple, but these two realities, being able to digitally see the next rivet location in the device superimposed on the rocket hull AND being able to work handsfree, cut the 6 hour shift to 45 mins. Impressive productivity gains when your dealing with 57,000 rivets!
The Augmented Reality Service
The Service is equally simple, walk customers through the 5 steps, we have found help customers understand the technology and how it will help them in their use case. Here are the 5 Steps summarised below...
Ultimately the best way to achieve the 5 steps is to organise a test drive of the technologies
Here's what we think helps bring the solutions to life - Case Studies - Other customers who have adopted the technology:
-
What their challenges were
-
How the HoloLens 2 for example, can reach, meet and deliver on those challenges.
HoloLens 2 Case Studies
Each Case Study tackles a different use case that we hope bring the Why? into focus rather than blind you with this feature and that jargon.
HoloLens 2 - What you need to know
We have tried to give you as much information in one place without overwhelming you in your early curious stage of discovery. See Below.
HoloLens 2 FAQs
Then give you reference sources to answer those very simple questions you may want to know, forgot to ask, or simply get asked by a stakeholder when your pitching the project. There are over 50 common HoloLens 2 Questions answered.
HoloLens 2 V Magic Leap 2
Then we take you through different stages of practical comparison with other market leading technology, so your ready for the "who else have we looked at?" question when it comes, which it frequently does.
You'll Find yourself armed with the key areas where the technologies differ so you can selected the technology that meets your use case.
