Trace3 is Bringing Enterprise Digital Transformation into the X-Reality Space
Prior to being quarantined, much of the world’s understanding of Virtual Reality (VR) surrounded the gaming industry. As a nice-to-have platform largely used by gamer enthusiasts, VR and other XR solutions have quickly become a need-to-have for businesses across industries. Today, only five months since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the global pandemic, organizations are looking beyond 2D web video to provide an immersive experience unlike anything else to their customers, employees, and communities.
With client needs rapidly demanding enterprise-ready XR solutions, Trace3 is currently supporting projects in academia, manufacturing, entertainment, and healthcare. As a technology solutions provider, and leader in innovative services and emerging tech research, Trace3 has been meticulous in helping our clients get ahead of the curve through our Venture Capital Briefing program. By taking an engaging look at a client’s environment and needs, our VC program connects them to the most effective emerging technologies to provide transformative results for their business.
Given that the remote work model is here to stay, recently one of Trace3’s longtime clients and VC regulars has engaged our team to implement a solution around a new VR pilot. The multinational automotive manufacturer is exploring new VR platforms with Trace3 to support remote assistance use cases on the manufacturing floor— allowing content or 3D models to be seen up close while collaborating with others via avatars.
Tom Funk, principal technologist at Trace3 and VR/AR expert is supporting this client and others to focus their strategy on new XR technology platforms capable of multiple scaling options. “XR lets you ‘walk through’ a digital twin of a physical asset (data center, retail store, manufacturing floor, etc.) and simulate optimizations or explore 3D models up close. More importantly, it allows collaboration across distances,” he shares. “To deliver collaborative opportunities for industry-specific use cases, our ability to assist with rapid 3D modeling, rendering, and AI training through Nvidia or with partner support, including events like concerts or conferences, is showing our clients just how versatile Trace3 is.”
The ability to connect with others without physically being at risk is a value that is evolving this new era of business, especially in the entertainment industry. A well-known organization responsible for putting on one of the most notable outdoor music festivals of our time is exploring the XR space with Trace3 with hopes to take their globally recognized event virtual. It doesn’t get much more compelling than an industry leader demonstrating their relevance and transformative edge by showing how they will continue to operate in interactive space. Especially when the consensus among virtual event attendees seems to be that 2D web events have become commonplace, and the value of an immersive experience is worth their time and dollars.
Given that the environment now requires an increasing number of virtual events, this notion is being explored at all levels. From executive-led “stage” presentations to event breakout rooms and social hour activities, XR technology is being justified and explored. In addition, large B2C product groups are reviewing technologies that support the new hybrid work model where they anticipate 50 percent of their workforce will continue to operate remotely and the other 50 percent will come in the office; therefore diving into new collaboration technologies that bridge the gaps between Zoom, Slack and Teams.
One of our latest partners in this category is HTC Vive, with their Virtual Events and Virtual Campus platforms. Alvin Graylin, HTC President, China is very excited to be partnering with Trace3, as the team has connected him to one of our tier one clients looking to leverage Vive technology. “It’s been a great pleasure working with Trace3, they are deeply connected to their clients and have proven to be an outstanding resource in connecting HTC to the right companies that are ready for growth.”
Trace3 and its partners are also leveraging AR marks, AR video markup apps and remote POV. To learn more about Trace3’s VC Program or how to get involved, visit: https://www.trace3.com/innovation/vc-briefings or contact VRARA Member, Savitha Srinivasan at SSrinivasan@trace3.com

California based company launches AfterNow Prez Remote in beta, the future of remote meetings is now
CULVER CITY, Calif., Monday 28th of July, 2020 – AfterNow, building the future of human computing with augmented reality and artificial intelligence, today announced the launch of AfterNow Prez Remote in private beta and available now. The new software platform delivers more meaningful and engaging remote meetings by harnessing the power of augmented and virtual reality. This technology, combined with Oculus or Microsoft headsets, empowers executives, sales teams, trainers, and educators to present immersive content to their audience resulting in increased engagement, satisfaction, and retention while avoiding burnout and fatigue.
As the Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic sweeps across the globe it’s ramifications can be felt in every facet of daily life. Perhaps most visible is that in the workplace and education. As many employees and students are working and learning from home, they rely heavily on remote software. According to Time Is Ltd., a productivity software company, online meetings doubled from February to April 2020. As the debate rages over the safety of in-person schooling, the quest to make remote learning efficient and efficacious is paramount.
The drawback to more popular platforms has resulted in experiences such as ‘Zoom Burnout’. Additionally, many people feel the typical video set-up doesn’t fit their particular working style. Current research shows Virtual Reality training actually results in increased engagement, retention and satisfaction. AfterNow Prez Remote makes use of Virtual and Augmented reality, proving more effective than Zoom or Powerpoint for communicating, learning, and exchanging ideas.
“Over the past few years, we’ve been building high end custom immersive presentations for the largest companies in the world and we’ve seen how effective the technology is - we’ve seen positive outcomes when our customers have used AfterNow Prez for sales and internal meetings.” said Philippe Lewicki, Co-founder of AfterNow. “This private beta of our new remote platform is the first step to bringing this technology to everyone - small and medium companies, schools and universities.”
AfterNow is an augmented reality company specializing in custom visualizations and presentations. As a Microsoft Mixed Reality partner, AfterNow has created and designed AR presentations for Fortune 500 companies. Though there are existing VR/AR collaboration platforms like Spatial, Glue, MeetinVR, EngagedVR, and Virbela, to name a few, AfterNow Prez Remote is designed specifically to present which makes it more effective for sales, training, and education. The presenter prepares content specifically for the meeting and goes through that content with the team or students.
“Almost all of us present ideas to one other. Presenting has become central to how we educate our children and work with our colleagues,” says Dave Birnbaum, HCI expert and AfterNow client. “As we spend an increasing amount of our time in immersive spaces, we will need well-designed software that allows us to make presentations that are richly sensory, nuanced, and convincing. Software that gets this right will be a key enabler of the XR revolution.”
AfterNow Prez Remote requires an internet connection and supports one presenter with up to 500 participants. Platforms supported are Hololens 1 & 2 and Oculus Quest. The easy to use platform allows a presenter to upload images, audio, videos, 3D objects, as well as enter text and organize them into Slides with transitions.
“In 5 to 10 years everyone will be using this technology. Today it's a great solution for teachers to bring their classes into a students home with engaging 3D animated content and live interaction or a sales team that can go and see their prospects or present a virtual tradeshow.” adds Lewicki.
Large tech companies such as Facebook, Microsoft and Magic Leap have invested billions in Augmented and Virtual Reality. The Coronavirus pandemic can be seen as the type of black swan event that illustrates dire circumstances often lead to innovation. Humans are 3 dimensional creatures and with AfterNow Prez Remote, moving away from 2D flat screens and into immersive technology to better learn, communicate, convince and understand, proves the future just got real.

VRARA publishes the Enterprise Report. Over 100 startups and companies showcasing industrial, B2B, and scalable solutions for the "new norm"
Foreword – Dirk Schart, CMO & President, RE’FLEKT
Now Is the Time for Immersive Technologies
New technologies often follow a common course, starting with initial hype followed by a longer phase of side ways movement, then finally a breakthrough.We see this development in technologies such as AugmentedReality (AR) and VirtualReality (VR).
This time last year, many startups that build products in new markets mainly wondered why adoption isn’t as fast as expected. Even though there are numerous use cases that demonstrate how AR makes life and work easier, daily use is still lacking.Today, in 2020, the world faces a pandemic crisis and from one day to the next, our daily lives – and thus the way we learn and work– have changed completely.Travel and access restrictions have led to rethinking and thus created the missing element: urgency.
Adoption = Value + Urgency
When taking a look at AR in the enterprise sector and comparing it withGeoffreyMoore’s “Crossing theChasm” construct, it is easy to see that the market is in the middle of the chasm. AR has already left the early adopters and is freeing itself more and more from the ranks of the innovation labs. The first scalable platforms and rollouts at large companies have begun, and adoption is slowly but surely increasing.

How Oracle’s XR Lab Uses MetaVRse Engine for eCommerce and IoT. And, special offer for you!
“Building from MetaVRse is 3 times faster and 2 times simpler than building for Unity. Being natively oriented towards WebXR, MetaVRse lets you have instantaneous preview – without the need for a beast machine to run and compile your creations. And as the engine is designed for creators rather than engineers, with simple scene configurations, it only took me a few lines of code to embed Oracle technologies within the experiences created with MetaVRse.”
Digital marketing and ecommerce are in an explosive growth phase, with AR-enabled experiences poised to drive over $36 billion in retail sales by 2024. But digital marketers are often left in the dust, as the demand for VR/AR developers is at an all-time high, growing over 1400% in 2019 alone. Recently, Oracle XR Lab co-founder Sikaar Keita has been experimenting with the web-based MetaVRse Engine to create product showcases, advanced ecommerce prototypes, and IoT sensor integrations.
3D/XR for Digital Marketing
Enterprise often struggles to find a foothold in fast-moving spaces, says Sikaar, so “we’re trying to see how big, more mature companies like Oracle can have a place within the XR industry.” This is what motivated him and his partner Wojciech Pluta to found the XR Lab at Oracle, along with his main role in driving customer experience and digital marketing efforts.
Just about every physical product on Earth has a detailed 3D model that is essential for the industrial design and manufacturing process. The challenge for digital marketers is to leverage these 3D models in ways that don’t require extensive coding knowledge. External development agencies can produce slick 3D and XR experiences, but digital marketers often get left behind, unable to tinker with the code or learn complex design software.
“Building real-time 3D experiences was something that was new to me a year and a half ago, and I started by playing with WebVR and WebAR,” says Sikaar. “I was building everything from scratch, just with A-Frame, typing code for every single interaction. With very limited capabilities, to be honest. Building an experience in A-Frame takes literally hours, and it’s really coding heavy to get to acceptable results.”
“With A-Frame, I will never get to a point where I can easily edit something that someone else will develop. I am not a developer – my goal is to understand things and get my hands on stuff.”
MetaVRse vs. A-Frame and Unity
Sikaar was one of the early beta testers for the MetaVRse Engine, our web-based 3D design and publishing tool built on the low-code/no-code philosophy. This was a game-changer for Sikaar, who found that the MetaVRse Engine did intuitively what other platforms required workarounds for.
“There were a few things I really wanted to try in WebXR, and I had a very clear idea of how I would build it in Unity. What was really game-changing was all the visuals. I can see all my modules, I can see them with renders, I can move around. That was something I’ve been badly missing.”
Sikaar has already used the engine to design a handbag storefront, complete with A/B testing. Providing potential customers with a three-dimensional representation of the product they’re looking to buy – enhanced by the ability to see it in real space – makes it possible to connect with a product in ways that are impossible with flat, lifeless images.
Connecting MetaVRse to Business Intelligence Tools
Included in his many trials is the ability to connect the Nike shoe configurator MetaVRse Engine via web, to the Oracle Infinity business intelligence tool capturing every click a potential customer makes and recording all the data. This is unprecedented data now available for marketers and executives.
MetaVRse and the Internet of Things (IOT)
Using our WebSocket integration, Sikaar also used the MetaVRse Engine to connect it with sensors in the real world. His motorcycle configurator not only visually represented the bike in 3D, but also provided temperature, air pressure, and other sensor readouts.
“Once I applied it to XR, it let me know what people are doing, which scene they’re viewing, how many right now in this very moment are using it,” says Sikaar, who describes the engine as a one-click solution that works for every device.
“Building from MetaVRse is 3 times faster and 2 times simpler than building for Unity. Being natively oriented towards WebXR, MetaVRse lets you have instantaneous preview – without the need for a beast machine to run and compile your creations. And as the engine is designed for creators rather than engineers, with simple scene configurations, it only took me a few lines of code to embed Oracle technologies within the experiences created with MetaVRse.”

UbiSim’s Customizable Authoring Tool Creates Meaningful, Virtual Reality Simulations for Nursing Students
UbiSim is a platform allowing you to customize pre-made scenarios or create your own. Have fun with your scenario design! Being able to customize, create and share immersive VR scenarios is truly game changing.
By Maria D’Errico, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC
Innovative nurse educators utilize simulation to provide learning opportunities that are specific to the diverse needs of their communities and patient populations. The ideal simulation platform is highly customizable, simple to learn, and intuitive to use. In simulation, customization is especially important, as educators must present a variety of learning situations that mirror the complex and ever-changing healthcare landscape.
Virtual Reality (VR) is a powerful modality that provides meaningful, impactful simulation experiences. To best meet the widest variety of learning objectives, the ideal VR platform will provide simulations that are ready to use, with an authoring function that allows for robust scenario customization.
Nurse educators now have a user-friendly virtual reality solution that provides the opportunity to create medical simulation experiences to meet their learners’ educational needs. UbiSim offers a unique, fully customizable solution for all levels of pre-licensure nursing education.
The UbiSim Editor is a revolutionary, user-friendly authoring tool that empowers nurse educators to customize and design VR simulations. UbiSim is the only immersive VR educational platform focused solely on nursing.
Multiple Ways for Nurse Educators to Design and Customize Virtual Simulation Scenarios
The UbiSim Editor can be accessed and utilized from a web browser and a VR headset is not needed for scenario design. Nurse educators can utilize the UbiSim Editor in three distinct ways.
First, educators can choose from the UbiSim library of pre-made scenarios. These scenarios are designed by nursing simulation experts and encompass virtual patients from across the lifespan with a multitude of distinct healthcare needs. The pre-made scenarios feature a user-friendly format, with the reassurance that the VR simulation is evidence-based and designed in accordance with simulation best practice guidelines.
Second, educators can use the Editor to customize the existing UbiSim clinical scenarios. The customizability of UbiSim makes the VR simulation platform truly special, as small alterations to the patient’s condition, social history, or treatment plan can create a completely new experience for students. Customizing the pre-made VR scenarios can be done quickly (in 15 minutes, or less), with the UbiSim Editor seamlessly guiding the educator through the entire process. The ability to generate customizable scenarios helps the educator to meet distinct learning objectives that focus on specific patient populations, wellness goals, and disease processes.
The third way that nursing educators can use the UbiSim Editor is to create their own VR simulation scenarios from scratch. The Editor guides the nurse educator through every step of the simulation design process and ensures that the scenario contains all the elements required for a robust and meaningful student learning experience. However the Editor is used, UbiSim brings the clinical simulation to life in an immersive, engaging, and exciting VR setting in which students can build the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to provide safe, high-quality nursing care.
Meeting the Evolving Needs of Nursing Education
UbiSim’s sole focus on nursing education allows the Editor to continuously meet the emerging educational needs of the nursing profession. Cultural competency, the ability of healthcare professionals to meet the social and cultural needs of patients from diverse communities and backgrounds, is at the forefront of nursing education. Nursing students need preparation in how to best care for diverse patient populations. UbiSim VR simulation scenarios feature virtual patients from a multitude of backgrounds. By utilizing the UbiSim platform, students will learn to excel in providing culturally competent nursing care across the lifespan as they progress through every level of their education.
A Variety of Healthcare Settings
The UbiSim Editor allows the nurse educator to stage the simulation in a variety of healthcare settings. In addition to a traditional hospital room, UbiSim simulations can occur in an outpatient healthcare facility. A home care environment is under development and will be available soon. This range of healthcare settings realistically immerses students in situations across the continuum of care. Educators can utilize this functionality of the UbiSim Editor to focus VR simulation scenarios on medically underserved populations in the community.
Preparing Nursing Students for Present and Future Pandemics
The COVID-19 pandemic has revolutionized healthcare delivery. More than ever, nursing education must emphasize the need for precautions and infection prevention when caring for patients. The UbiSim Editor features virtual representations of various isolation precautions and personal protective equipment, including isolation gowns, N95 masks, and face shields. This provides an opportunity for students to care for patients with COVID-19 and other disease processes while learning how to prevent the transmission of infections in the healthcare setting.
Complex Patients and Interdisciplinary Collaboration
The U.S. patient population is growing increasingly complex. UbiSim clinical scenarios fully immerse the students in a virtual training environment where critical thinking can be practiced, demonstrated, and refined. Students in a UbiSim VR scenario assess patients across the lifespan, administer medications, analyze the results of diagnostic tests, and practice therapeutic communication.
The UbiSim multiplayer function provides an opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration by immersing several students into the same simulation scenario. Within a nursing program, students from different levels can collaborate in VR using the multiplayer function to learn delegation and leadership. This helps to build competence and confidence in nursing care, clinical judgment, and teamwork. The ability to utilize scenarios among junior and senior nursing students also capitalizes on the school’s return on investment as multiple classes can benefit from the same simulation resources. This is an especially important feature of the UbiSim platform, as many nursing schools must be resourceful and choose educational platforms that can be maximized to reach all students within a program.
A Nurse Educator’s Perspective
As a nurse educator and simulationist, I appreciate the customizability of the UbiSim platform. With the UbiSim Editor, I have implemented pre-made scenarios, spent a small amount of time to customize an existing scenario to meet specific learning objectives, and developed an entirely new scenario in just hours. I understand firsthand the time constraints on nursing faculty as they provide high quality education to students. The flexibility of the UbiSim platform will fit your instructional needs, whether you want to implement a pre-made scenario, have 15 minutes to customize a scenario, or desire to design a scenario from scratch. The UbiSim Editor is intuitive and user friendly, allowing educators to focus on the content, rather than the need to learn a complex design tool.
Customizing a VR simulation scenario within the UbiSim Editor is an empowering experience for the nurse educator, as it guides you in creating meaningful simulations that best fit your students’ unique learning needs. The customizability also offers a strategy for simulation champions to integrate experiential learning into courses across the nursing curriculum. By making small changes to scenarios, champions can help faculty implement scenarios where students will meet their learning objectives in a safe and immersive environment.

Includes $10,000 Cash Prize + P & G Ventures Partnership Opportunity
COLUMBIA, Mo. and KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 2, 2020 -- Healium, the makers of a virtual stress relief product that's powered by consumer wearables recently won the P & G Ventures Innovation Challenge which includes a $10,000 cash prize, the opportunity to partner with P&G Ventures, and an invitation to join a nationally-ranked accelerator with up to $200,000 in other benefits. Healium pitched the idea of a "digiceuticals aisle" to sell its mental health hygiene products alongside physical hygiene products in drugstores or other retailers.
"What can you buy at your local drugstore for your mental wellbeing?" said Sarah Hill, CEO of Healium. "A partner with Procter & Gamble's global reach would allow us to more quickly get our digiceuticals in the hands of 157 million stressed consumers who are looking for drugless solutions to quickly downshift their nervous systems and escape their current realities."
P&G Ventures, a startup studio within Procter & Gamble, is partnering with entrepreneurs, inventors, and startups to discover and create consumer products, brands, and businesses that solve people's needs in categories new to P&G. P&G serves consumers around the world with one of the strongest portfolios of trusted, quality, and leadership brands. The P&G community includes operations in approximately 70 countries worldwide.
"The Innovation Challenge enables P&G Ventures to discover and work with visionaries who share a mutual dedication to finding solutions that improve the way people live their lives," said Leigh Radford, Senior Vice President and General Manager, P&G Ventures. "I truly believe P&G's next big breakthrough innovation and brand will result from the collaboration of the best of an external partner like Healium and the best of P&G. We are excited to see where Healium and the broader digiceuticals category could go next."
Healium is the world's first immersive media product powered by the body's electricity via consumer wearables like a smartwatch or EEG-sensing headband. It provides nature-based escapes in augmented or virtual reality that have the option to be controlled by the user's brainwaves or heart rate. Unlike traditional meditation, Healium stories are visual, open-eyed escapes that allow the user to see their feelings control virtual worlds so they can learn to self-regulate their stress. In three peer-reviewed journals, Healium has been shown to reduce anxiety and improve mood in as little as four minutes, more of an impact than audio or 2D video alone.
"When you take a virtual trip to a beautiful 360 landscape, your brain believes what it sees and the nervous system calms down almost immediately. When combined with our biofeedback technology, Healium is a powerful tool to change your mood and your mind," said Dr. Jeff Tarrant, Chief Scientist for Healium and Director of the Neuromeditation Institute.
In the wake of COVID 19 and the stress epidemic that's followed, Healium has been deployed to the frontlines to fight compassion fatigue and burnout among healthcare workers, to corporations looking to give their remote workers some virtual peace, and to aging Veterans unable to physically travel to see their memorials in Washington, DC. Its experiences have been viewed more than 7 million times.
With 225 million wearables in the market currently generating 2D data dashboards, Healium's patented technology and product are transforming how users interact with their biometric data by allowing them to not just track their data but interact with it.
Healium has been featured by Apple, National Geographic, Wallstreet Journal, and more for use cases ranging from anxiety to addiction. This is the sixth national group in the last year to recognize the certified women-owned business. In 2020, Healium was named a NASA iTech Finalist, selected for MassChallenge Houston, and won an Edison award for Health & Wellness Tech. The company closed a licensing deal to put Healium on up to 20 airlines to destress passengers during long haul flights, won pitch competitions at CES, the world's largest technology show, took home a first-place finish at South by Southwest in XR, and was nominated for a Webby for Best Use of Augmented Reality. Healium was incubated at the Missouri Innovation Center and accelerated by Mizzou VMS, the Missouri Technology Corporation, ECJC Scale Up, the Women in XR Fund Cohort, Transformative Tech, and the Launch KC| Nueterra Health Accelerator.

The G2 4K Enterprise is now Pico’s most advanced 3DoF head-mounted display (HMD) ever created and provides the highest standard of sanitation for multi-user training and use of the device.
This new headset was developed after continuous discussions with the team at NuEyes, as they were looking for an improved camera and increased storage to better serve its customers with visual impairments.
“At NuEyes, we are extremely passionate about helping the visually impaired in their daily lives by utilizing smart glass technology. As we looked at various hardware partnerships in 2017 for our next iteration of product lines, Pico Interactive impressed us the most,” said Mark Greget, Founder and CEO of NuEyes. “With thousands of consumers wearing our device for hours on end, we have been able to gather valuable consumer feedback. Based on that input, as well as once again partnering with the great team at Pico interactive, we are happy to release a newer product for the visually impaired.”
The Pico G2 4K S is available now and can be purchased for $375 USD. The G2 4K Enterprise will be available in Q3 2020 and retail for $449 USD. As Pico focuses on enterprise, these headsets are sold direct to companies via a dedicated sales team spread across the globe.

Scaling AR and VR Solutions to Transform Business
Nathan Pettyjohn is the Commercial AR/VR Lead at Lenovo and President, VRARA
As COVID-19 accelerates digital transformation, enterprises need solutions to minimize complexity while optimizing a distributed workforce.
New Technologies for a New Normal
The world is changing faster than ever. The COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating pre-existing trends in digital transformation as industry optimize disrupted and dispersed workforces. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) could play a major role in enabling workers to do more and achieve higher performance, but only if enterprises are offered solutions that make it easier for them to scale.
AR use cases in manufacturing focus on product assembly, real-time expert help, equipment maintenance, quality assurance and training. General industry statistics show a range of ROI and KPI improvements. When used properly, AR can drop manufacturing error rates to nearly zero, offer 15-35% productivity gains in warehouse picking processes, and deliver a 30-40% decrease in time spent to achieve field service resolutions.
While AR can make workers more efficient on-task, VR use cases in the enterprise are heavily focused on training. Case studies generally show VR offers better and faster learning, with some learning situations proving a 75% retention rate versus only 5% using traditional, lecture-style methods. In addition, a 30-40% increase in learning times, and 30-40% fewer mistakes compared to those conventionally trained, can be achieved. VR training is an optimal solution to skill up and educate workers, while also decreasing expenses, risk, material use and travel.
Enterprise-Grade Hardware and Software for Critical Operations
Industry leaders are using AR and VR to enhance operations and gain an edge on the competition. When energy technology company Baker Hughes built and deployed Phantom View, its cutting-edge enhanced reality software platform, it used commercial AR and VR headsets to support remote operations management, training, collaboration, site walkthroughs and more.
For example, in enhanced-reality-based health and safety training, Phantom View streams full-scale 3D models of drill sites, accurately reconstructed from real sites and with realistic physics, to the AR headsets. This AR simulation evaluates employees’ ability to assess health and safety risks on site before visiting. By replacing paper-based evaluations with an interactive enhanced-reality simulation, Baker Hughes successfully gamified the learning experience, making the training more engaging and effective.
Selecting AR/VR Solutions
Platform: The operating system is crucial for how enterprises can use and deploy AR and VR. For example, Android’s operating system and user interface are simple to use and customize. An ecosystem that’s open and cloud-agnostic provides enterprise the flexibility to deploy its software platform on-premise or across multiple cloud services.
Flexibility: When you need to move fast and change the way people work, flexibility is key. There could be an immediate, dramatic need for AR/VR assisted upskilling in the next several quarters. Plants and factories are restarting or ramping up production after sudden, disruptive closures earlier in the year because of the pandemic. There are likely to be millions of workers returning to jobs at a faster pace than ever before, and this workforce will require accelerated re-training or reskilling as new processes and procedures develop. Enabling solutions implemented in a device and cloud-agnostic environment allows businesses to quickly adapt to a changing work environment.
Time and Resources: Not every enterprise has the time or resources to develop and scale their own AR/VR applications and are tapping partners that can help scale within much easier than ever. Sometimes, turn-key solutions are preferred. For instance, Holo One’s Sphere is a suite of mixed reality software applications that’s optimized and integrated with Lenovo’s ThinkReality software platform. Sphere offers the most commonly used AR applications – workflow support, remote assistance, and digital workspaces.
Productivity: AR and VR device use cases are unique from other types of IT implementations. Employees from multiple shifts are often using the same AR or VR device within a facility. This presents two unique challenges; maintaining battery life and user and security parameters for multiple users of the same device.
Certain devices are better equipped to handle these challenges while still maintaining productivity. A headset with a removable battery can be swapped with a new battery while the depleted battery charges. Additionally, stringent security protocols to manage users’ access to certain types of applications and workflows should be included.
Another important element is allowing for over-the-air (OTA) updates on the AR and VR devices in use. This ensures software updates are easily scaled and implemented where needed.
Ultimately, a truly scalable enterprise AR and VR solution must incorporate a comprehensive mix of software, hardware and services that allow for enterprise-grade scalability, making it easy to deploy and manage. These scalable solutions are critical in showing ROI for large enterprises with a mix of unique device, app, and cloud requirements across many departments and many geographies.
