As an MR provider, we work with hardware like VR headsets and AR glasses and software platforms to create interactive environments. Services include designing immersive training programs, virtual tours, interactive marketing campaigns, and entertainment experiences. Our goal is to help customers leverage the innovative solutions that exist for industries like education, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing.

ThingsAt also offer consultation, support, and training to ensure seamless integration and optimal use of MR technologies

By showing customers how to integrate mixed reality, we help organisations improve operational efficiency, enhance learning outcomes, and create compelling customer experiences.

Mixed Reality Solutions

ThingsAt Mixed Reality solutions offer benefits for businesses across various industries by merging the physical and digital worlds to create immersive and interactive experiences.

  • Enhanced Training and Education: MR provides realistic, hands-on training environments without the risks or costs associated with real-world scenarios. Employees can practice complex procedures and skills in a safe, controlled setting, leading to better retention and performance.
  • Improved Collaboration and Communication: MR enables remote teams to collaborate in a shared virtual space, interacting with 3D models and data in real-time. This reduces travel costs and enhances productivity by allowing teams to work together seamlessly from different locations.
  • Increased Efficiency and Productivity: MR solutions streamline workflows by providing real-time information and guidance. For instance, maintenance workers can use AR glasses to overlay instructions and diagrams directly onto machinery, reducing downtime and errors.
  • Enhanced Customer Engagement and Experience: MR creates interactive and engaging customer experiences, such as virtual product demonstrations or augmented shopping experiences. This can lead to higher customer satisfaction and increased sales.
  • Innovative Design and Prototyping: MR allows businesses to visualise and manipulate 3D models during the design phase, facilitating faster iterations and better decision-making. This can significantly reduce the time and cost associated with product development.
  • Data Visualisation and Analysis: MR helps in visualising complex data sets in an intuitive, 3D format. This makes it easier to identify trends, make informed decisions, and present information to stakeholders in a compelling way.

Mixed Reality Services

Our Mixed Reality services comprise key components that work together to create immersive and interactive experiences. At its core, an MR service integrates both augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, blending the physical and digital worlds seamlessly.

  1. Hardware: Essential devices include AR glasses, VR headsets, motion sensors, cameras, and handheld controllers. These tools enable users to interact with and navigate through mixed reality environments.

  2. Software: Robust software platforms and applications are crucial. These platforms provide the foundation for developing MR content. Software components handle the creation, rendering, and management of 3D models, animations, and interactive elements.
  1. Content Development: MR services involve the creation of detailed and interactive digital content. This includes 3D modeling, animation, spatial audio, and haptic feedback to enhance realism and user engagement.
  1. Integration and Customisation: MR services often require tailoring solutions to specific industries or use cases. This involves integrating MR applications with existing systems, ensuring compatibility and optimising performance.
  1. User Interface and Experience Design: A critical aspect of MR services is designing intuitive user interfaces (UI) and user experiences (UX). This ensures that users can easily interact with and navigate through the MR environment.
  1. Support and Training: Providing ongoing support, maintenance, and training is vital for ensuring users can effectively leverage MR technologies. This includes troubleshooting, updates, and educating users on best practices.

Detailed use case – Remote Assistance

Need

Ability to share with limited resources what someone is seeing and have annotations in the field of view and voice support.

What problem does this solve

Teams and skillsets can be split geographically across sites.  Augmented Reality (AR) applications and integration to MS Teams can allow for enhanced remote assistance to resolve even complex problems that otherwise would have required travel.

Result

A 1st level team member can be the eyes and ears to a subject matter expert by simply bringing the expert into an MS Teams call using a mixed reality headset.

The expert can then direct, using AR to provide in-view annotations and share external content to the person in the field.

This will allow access to subject matter experts in a more efficient and timely manner.
