AR and VR Use Cases

The use cases of AR and VR technologies are numerous. There is virtually no industry, no pun intended, that does not stand to gain from the benefits offered by AR and VR. Listed below are some of the major benefits AR and VR add to an industry: 

Employee Education

AR and VR can allow you to build training programs that allow for the on-boarding of new employees remotely. Staff members can attend virtual classrooms and can also familiarise themselves with their work environments and challenges by using simulations before stepping into the real thing. This allows for en mass staff training and also allow the trainees to better retain the information and revise course content at a low cost to the company.

Training Simulations

AR and VR can allow you to train skilled employees at a low cost by getting them accustomed to the challenges of their work environment and allowing them to experiment with solutions. These training simulations are of great asset to knowledge based domains such as healthcare, law enforcement, corporate training, aviation, and ACE disciplines. As an example, surgeons are being trained in new surgery techniques without risking life and limb.

Field Service Productivity

AR and VR can be of great help in the domains of repair, engineering and manufacturing. You can build simulations that can improve the productivity of field workers. As an example, you can have an AR app that allows for on-site or remote trouble shooting of machinery or equipment. The technician can look through an HMD, a tablet or smartphone and get real-time instructions on how to carry out a procedure.

In order for you to be able to create such interactive apps, you need to learn Augmented Reality and also learn Virtual Reality. To do so, part time animation courses which teach digital animation and 3d animation for content creation are taught in games programming courses in Singapore, such as the ones offered by MAGES Institute of Excellence. You will need skills in C# programming and 3D game development to be part of the emerging technology landscape.
