Internet users enjoy many benefits that were difficult to imagine some three or four decades ago. However, the decade to come will bring with it even more energizing developments in digital technology.
Perhaps one of the most fascinating ones will be the proliferation and eventual mainstream adoption of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). With technological advances in rendering and connectivity, the feasibility of Virtual Reality and Augmented reality is rising exceptionally. The number of VR headsets sold in the market has increased from 3 million in 2017 to 6 million in 2019. Similarly, sales of augmented reality devices are increasing and expected to grow to 31.9 million devices by 2023.
Instead of visiting websites or using applications, we’ll have the option to simply “invoke” visual realities about our existence. This will be done by employing cell phones, AR-glasses and VR headsets. Below are three simple implementations that will reveal to you how VR and AR will essentially change the way we live.
VR Training of Healthcare Professionals:
The first use case we would be looking at is focused on hospitals and healthcare facilities. Given what’s at stake, providing the right training to healthcare professionals is critical. However, it can often be time consuming, restrictive and very expensive. However, Virtual Reality can address some of these challenges by simulating a medical scenario at a hospital. For instance, a hospital room scene is loaded when the application boots up whereby the user, with the help of a speech manager can interact with the patient just like they would in the real world.
With the help of VR this is how the training scenario would unfold to provide the learners with a more engaging experience –
In addition, VR can be used in a significant way to promote a healthcare facility to prospective customers, employees and investors. With the help of VR, they can now take a virtual tour of the hospital premises and obtain an almost realistic sense of all its amenities and infrastructure without leaving the comfort of their homes.
Field Assistance using AR:
Several industries require the deployment of highly specialized field executives in order to maintain or repair complex and expensive machinery. However, such experts are expensive and cannot be deployed across all regions serviced by a business. This is where Augmented Reality (AR) can have a substantial impact by connecting a field executive with an online expert that can provide specialized guidance remotely. This is how the process would work
Virtual Classrooms based learning using AR:
The proliferation of mobile devices has led to anytime-anywhere content delivery and the same is now expected of learning experiences as well. With increased accessibility to content and the emergence of learners from different parts of the world, virtual classrooms are going to be the norm. Here is how Augmented Reality (AR) would facilitate this process –
We at Happiest Minds are working on both Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality technologies. The implementation use cases are spread across multiple domains from education to retail to field force assistance to gaming. If you are looking for a trusted partner that is well versed with AR & VR and understands your domain, Happiest Minds can deliver value on both fronts, so you can hit the ground running.
