To experience AR, download the Google Translate app, press the camera button, and point your smartphone camera at a sign or menu written in a language you don’t speak.

Google AR Expeditions is a great AR project. It was designed to provide students with augmented learning experiences (like “view” a full-size African elephant up close) through more than 800 VR and 100 AR experiences. Expeditions has grown past the educational world and is now available to everyone on both iOS and Android.

Augmented Reality glasses can solve Skill & knowledge gaps in any #Business. 
 
#AugmentedReality #SmartGlasses #Technology enables you – to share what you see with others in real-time video.
 
The user wears this lens. It enables users to
 
🎯 Work 100% hand free that works on voice command.
 
Case study of a customer in Industrial Manufacturing in Heavy engineering.
 
🛑 Problem 1 - Their machine breakdown problem and reducing cost of operation.
 
✴️ Solution – We empowered the least skilled /knowledge personal be it, technicians, or machine operators.
 
If there is an issue, let them wear the lens and ask for help from an expert who could be based anywhere.
 
Once they are online and in real-time, the experts or the remote person will guide what to do and solve the problem.
 
Successful troubleshoots and first-time fixes went up by 60-70% more. No travel cost, least machine break downtime and reduced cost of operation. by 15-20%
 

 
🛑 Problem 2 – Provide additional customer benefits - the new business model.
 
Case 1 – Machine ticket size starts from 95K USD+. They is a standard SLA. We suggested adding this lens to the machine cost. That is a delta increase. Offer modification of SLA. Immediate resolution at Delta cost. Reduction in machine commissioning and installation time.
 
✴️ Benefit  1 – When the end customers faced issues, they got immediate support. SLA from 4/8 hours response was cut to 1-2 minutes response. 
 
✴️ Benefit 2 – They reduced the time to machine commissioning and installation by 30-40%.

Efficiency Improvement in Thyssenkrupp Using Mixed Reality

2018
We’ve partnered closely with thyssenkrupp since the very early days of HoloLens, jointly developing mixed reality solutions that could be implemented at scale. First, in the earliest iterations of Dynamics 365 Remote Assist, they were able to drastically improve response time, increase efficiency and raise elevator uptimes for many of their 24,000 thyssenkrupp elevator-service engineers by providing hands-free remote assistance — the length of their service calls was reduced fourfold. We continue to work closely with thyssenkrupp on current and future Dynamics 365 mixed reality applications as well as extending existing custom applications into broadly available solutions.

For example, thyssenkrupp has recently announced the broad rollout of HoloLinc, a first-of-its-kind, fully digitized sales process for the stair lift industry. After a pilot in The Netherlands with more than 300 successful installations to date, the HoloLinc solution is being rolled out from this month onward in the U.K., Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain and France, with Norway and Japan to follow next year.

The rollout on a global level is seen as a major milestone in mass industrialization innovation. To date, thyssenkrupp Elevator has equipped 120 salespeople with the HoloLinc toolkit, which comprises a Microsoft HoloLens, a tablet, a portable printer, and other technical accessories. What’s most exciting is that HoloLinc improves a process for customers who need it most, as mobility issues have a huge impact on quality of life. By using mixed reality, a process which formerly took around 40 to 70 days can now be done in just 14 days. Now that is true digital transformation of a long-standing process!

Efficiency Improvement in Toyota  Using Mixed Reality


Toyota is well known for their values of quality, safety and continuous improvement. With significant amounts of 3D CAD data, they understand the power of bringing the digital and physical worlds together. When they learned of mixed reality and Microsoft HoloLens, they began to look at processes that could be transformed.

As part of the painting process for their vehicles, Toyota performs a process called “film coating thickness inspection” to manage the thickness of the paint to ensure consistent quality of coating on every vehicle — a process that is performed regularly, even after mass production has started.

Before using HoloLens, Toyota performed film coating thickness inspection manually with automobile-sized paper patterns, similar to those used in dressmaking. The automotive pattern has approximately 500 holes, punched as measurement points based on existing CAD drawings. Because of the size, complexity and manual nature of the patterns, they were often error prone and took days to create. And, due to risk of dust and dirt from the paper patterns, the vehicles being inspected had to be removed from the manufacturing facility, adding more than a day to production timelines.

With the HoloLens solution, Toyota can now take their existing 3D CAD data used in the vehicle design process and project it directly onto the vehicle for measurements, optimizing existing processes and minimizing errors. In addition, the process can be standardized and replicated across their global operations. Using mixed reality, a process which previously took one to two days and multiple people to execute now takes four hours and one person.

Toyota proved the value of mixed reality and is currently trialing Dynamics 365 Layout to improve machinery layout within their facilities and Dynamics 365 Remote Assist to provide workers with expert support from off-site designers and engineers.

The main directions of industrial uses of augmented reality can be divided as follows.

Collision analysis: by combining the real world—the production line—and the virtual model, it is possible to quickly check from all sides whether partial collisions (typically within production) will occur.

Concept planning: using AR, various 3D sub-models of the line can be projected onto them, but it is also possible to plan sub-workplaces  and/or offices.

Deviation comparison: A virtual part (i.e., actual CAD data) is projected onto the real part. It is, consequently, possible to compare how the real part corresponds to the designer’s idea within the sub-parameters of the part.

Part verification: this is either a visual inspection of the part (see the previous section) or an AR verification of the assembly.

Workshop planning: study  identifies the potential of AR in layout planning

Virtual instructions and maintenance: this is one of the most researched applications of AR in the industry. These are typically either used directly in production or within training applications. Tutorials can be linked to phone calls as remote support or  production and documentation, and are especially easy to trace. The principle of pick-by-vision can be used.

Display of metadata: a display of extended information directly within the production line (see below).
AR Navigation: calculation of the exact outdoor/indoor position [27,28,29,30] with which the AR visualization of loading and unloading is related.

AR devices can be divided according to the location of the display.
Head mounted displays (HMDs), which are worn on the user’s head. 
Hand held displays (HHDs), which are held in the user’s hand. The most common examples are mobile phones and tablets. 
Spatial displays, which are placed in space.
