Providing Immersive Experiences with AR VR MR Technologies

The impact of technology in influencing the purchasing decisions of customers year on year. Leading consumer businesses have started experimenting with augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) to market their brands more effectively.

AR, VR, and MR technologies provide a more immersive medium to engage with customers. Global consumer brands have shown a lot of interest since these technologies were first introduced. Some notable instances of their adoption by technology leaders are as follows -   

  • Apple has introduced an ARKit framework to enable iPad and iPhone users to experience augmented reality (AR)

  • Microsoft uses Mixed Reality (MR) to merge virtual objects with the real world.

 

Augmented Reality (AR)

Augmented reality refers to an interactive experience featuring a real-world environment enhanced with computer-generated perceptual information across multiple sensory modalities including auditory, haptic, somatosensory, olfactory and visual.

 

AR-enabled shopping portals enable their customers to have a virtual experience while shopping with them. Brands like Burberry Beauty, Shiseido Cosmetic Mirror, Warby Parker, Walgreens, Sayduck, use  AR to showcase and sell their online merchandise. AR has revolutionized the shopping experiences of millions of customers across the globe. AR integrated apps display everything virtually on mobile screens so that customers can make the right choice. Other applications of AR technology include -  

 

  • Navigation and Tracking: Augmented reality makes tracking and pathfinding easier. GPS navigator uses a smartphone camera to guide people with directions to their destination.

  • Marketing: Online shopping portals use AR in their apps to add life to their 2D models. Many furniture stores use AR in their apps to enhance the user experience by displaying objects like faucets or furniture in actual spaces.

  • Better Training: Corporate meetings are easier to handle with AR technology. It virtually represents real-world objects in 3D, making concepts engaging and clear to the team members.

  • Educating Company Personnel: MR technologies can be used for creating interactive 3D models to upgrade the employee skills and knowledge  

  • Retail Commerce: Home decor apps upgraded with MR technology enable customers to remodel their interiors and exteriors, select paint colors, furniture and decor before actually beginning the process
