Augmented Reality and the Future of the Work Environment

Date:

In addition to increasing personal productivity, AR also has the ability to enhance the productiveness of teams by supporting remote collaboration. Now more than ever, there is a growing demand for creating an effective remote workplace. Spatial is one tool that leverages AR to allow people to work together virtually and seamlessly. Put on a set of AR goggles to see your virtual workspace. You can hold meetings with coworkers who appear as digital avatars of themselves in your environment, without any travel required. You can write, share, and manipulate virtual sticky notes with your hands for brainstorming sessions with teammates. The information you share through Spatial is dynamic and not limited by the size of your computer screen or your physical proximity to your colleagues. Applications like Spatial highlight the ways in which AR can be used to bring people and ideas together digitally, thereby creating a more connected work environment.

Finally, AR is being applied in industrial settings and changing the way we train workers, ensure high quality output, and enhance workers’ safety. BMW’s production group, for example, employs AR-based applications in order to virtually train their employees in areas such as engine assembly and lean processes, with trainees viewing digital visuals and instructions through AR goggles for step-by-step instruction. Along these lines, AR can also be used to help with quality control by equipping inspectors with wearable glasses that show assistive information during inspections. AGCO, an agricultural equipment manufacturer, uses such glasses when manufacturing glass to replace computers and tablets, which are not easily accessible or are hard to manage during the time of inspection. Lastly, in other applications, AR combined with geographic information system (GIS) technology can improve safety by making it possible for industrial workers to virtually see what is beneath their work surface, whether it be pipes, cables, or other utilities they need to avoid.

AR is making our workplaces smarter, more productive, and safer. Helping to further these advancements and make AR even more accessible, echoAR is a 3D-ready cloud platform for AR and virtual reality (VR) that provides tools and server-side infrastructure to help developers and companies quickly build and deploy AR/VR apps and experiences. The echoAR platform allows you to build your backend in minutes, easily manage 3D content, and deliver that content anywhere.
