Augmented reality is limited in its applications in day to day life for most consumers. If you on the street call "augmented reality" what people think about scanning your favorite magazine with your smartphone, and with a coupon or 3D image popup. This was not just a "game changer" for brands and marketers in most industries, but some corporate HR leaders believe that the first field of actual penetration of the functional use of AR is more "blue collar" than most people hold.
Augmate founded augmented reality platform based in NYC Pete Wassell. To Wassell, the current AR technology is not capable enough, with a visual version bespoke and tailored to your own world has to offer to all consumers - not yet. He believes that the most stationary or limited functions of the visual field are well focused on the independent sector applications, the Augmate, including stock-picking and training Handyman appropriate.
"What we're working together is more reasonable checklists and overlaps as a worker to do their job help," Wassell said. "There is an increase of over 30 percent efficiency in time on task when information in your field of vision."
In collecting warehouse, this could mean automatically that a worker where to find an item or automatically through him or her. Inventories during operation in a learning environment, a company can have access to the field of view of dozens of workers, quickly assessing their progress and ensure they efficiently through steps provided.
In other environments, he says, could see a superposition of statements "hand-like" of a certain unit employees. In a car, this could be a particular piece of an engine, the specific instructions on how to access the share, even if it.

Across the pond, in Germany, is another company that more industrial areas: metaio. "What most people are familiar with augmented reality are what I call" rabbit in the newspapers, "funny little eye, which did not amount to much," Trak, the former head of U.S. marketing for metaio said. The company's role is to serve as a platform for the development of augmented reality, as well as specific applications increased in most configurations of business-to-business reality. Lord refers to a lot of B2B technology as "technology preview."
Lord uses an example from the sale of large robotic arms for industrial environments. "You can not hire just one of those things, or take it with a suitcase. We look forward to talking to many tons and ruin this great machine on the floor."
In these circumstances, the seller not only use Augmented Reality show how the robot arm to fit in a particular industrial area and within reach of his arm, and as its turning radius may overlap and interfere with other devices or other industrial robotic arms . "You do not want two of these things just give each other a" high five "," jokes Mr.
AR Innovator Daqri recently grabbed your new CEO of an industrial company of the utmost importance: Raytheon. Despite heavily involved in entertainment, seems Daqri guide now your greatest opportunity for growth in the industry.
Daqri new president Andy Lowery describes situations CPR applicable, as follows:. "Common processes that are based on the complexity of human decision making process, and their capacity for complex, agile handling, along with the unit needs, information and shares many times repetitive "
Since management control, training and education panel (similar Augmate target time) and batch operations seems Daqri also secretary jobs less than the first big amusement park for AR.
These industrial applications share the objective exchange of manuals, guides, rules and calculations done-for-you, feedback field of vision. This takes some of the long and mentally exhausting aspects of work and worker's hand in his sights, essentially, "multiply" the output of the workers themselves (which, of course, is the only way to maintain a contribution of value to businesses and industry).
Wassell believe this type of technology could help more manual jobs in the hands of the people instead of robots, a statement that seems to be something noble.
If you believe that AR can table fewer workers losing their job to rescue robot is one thing, but it's hard to argue against the practical application of AR to overlay the information required in jobs that measurement and display the following lists of specific tasks, search for entries and the like. Could these blue collar applications be what finally puts AR map, the integration of these tools for the daily work life? Looks bigger than the fact that some of the best innovators in the industry are able to bet on it idea.
