AR-Agency · Agency for AR Augmented Reality
Augmented reality (AR) starts with the real world, but enhances it with digital content. What makes AR so special? Most audiovisual experiences we know take place in either the physical or digital world. Augmented reality combines both worlds. Digital components are layered over physical components, creating a mirage effect.
Using augmented reality, industrial companies can project digital visual elements such as images, videos, 3D models, and animations into the user’s field of vision. You can also involve other senses; it is possible to deliver sound and even haptic buzzing or other sensory stimuli via technology.
The biggest advantage of augmented reality (AR) is that with it, you create unique digital experiences that combine the best of the digital and physical worlds. Plus, there’s no need for special hardware or software to enjoy the experience. Conventional smartphones, mobile apps, and tablets are enough to experience augmented reality. It also works via web browsers.
Provide Marketing-Relevant Information Interactively
Enhance the Buying Experience
What applications in industry are possible with the help of augmented reality? Intuitively linking information to a product or machine is one. So, for example, if a prospective customer scans your machine at your trade fair booth, additional information is displayed or videos played. Give your buyer instant information about the usage, operation, functionality, or features of your machine to help drive the purchase decision. Augmented reality is efficient at explaining complex functions of machines and other technical products, aiding buyers in understanding the value of a product.
Make Product Details Truly Stand Out
Product details can be displayed in a similar fashion. When a prospective customer scans a detail of your machine, the buyer can “look inside” the detail, for example. Your product or machine opens up onscreen (3D model), showing the interior of the product and highlighting key product components. Additionally, buyers can scan any element of your machine and have its function explained to them in detail. AR is an intuitive way of demonstrating the design and capabilities of subsystems and showing how subsystems fit together. Augmented reality is thus a powerful marketing tool for presenting information that is otherwise difficult or time-consuming to convey.
Facilitate Industrial Buyer Decision-Making
Onsite product demonstrations come alive with augmented reality. Imagine being able to walk with your customer into the customer’s production area, warehouse, or other industrial space and having your customer virtually visualize what your machine would look like in operation integrated right onsite. Your customer could then explore product details and additional information in the exact environment in which the machine would be installed. The possibilities are immense.
Integrate AR into Marketing Campaigns
Combined with an AI chatbot, personalized data on your target audience, or data from your customer service team, augmented reality delivers even more value to your marketing efforts.
Better Employee Training Directly on the Shop Floor, in the Warehouse, Logistics Center, or Laboratory
Have you ever tried to repair a machine with the help of a manual? We are not against manuals and documentation. They are important and necessary, but they can also be difficult to read and understand. Augmented reality presents information interactively in connection with the product or machine. That reduces complexity, as only what is actually needed in the view is displayed. Augmented reality can help the user to make quick decisions without being cognitively overwhelmed. Instead of reading manuals to try to understand what steps to take next, you can press a button and see for yourself what to do and how.
Industrial companies spend a lot of money on training. Augmented reality improves practical training by visualizing and simulating different scenarios. A short animation overlaid in a laboratory, testing center, warehouse, logistics center, production floor, office, or other industrial space can explain a particular topic better than a lengthy text. Information can also be displayed with a new level of interaction for more motivation and learning success.
Take Sales and Customer Service Staff Up a Level
You can also use augmented reality models to train your sales staff for pre-sales activities and customer service agents for after-sales activities. Proper training on new models, new features, and the entire product range is a must for increasing sales and customer satisfaction. AR models can replicate a real product. Imagine being able to train staff at your sites around the globe using AR models and AR apps instead of shipping heavy machines to them.
Now everywhere is the ultimate classroom! Using augmented reality, you can provide onsite, step-by-step, real time visual guidance, walking staff through each and every relevant aspect of your machines and equipment. Advanced training using augmented reality tremendously increases the productivity of staff no matter where they are and no matter in which environment they work.
