We all know AR and AI have been the buzzwords in the Industrial Revolution 4.0! While Augmented reality (AR) has hogged the limelight, another lesser-known yet impactful AR, known as Assisted Reality, is emerging as a game-changer. Think of it as AR’s less-popular cousin, closely related but with its own unique strengths.
What is Assisted Reality?
Assisted Reality follows the principle of “reality first, digital second,” striking a delicate balance between safety and productivity in the context of Industry 4.0. Professionals in the field, such as mechanics and service technicians, find it to be both practical and easy to use.
Unlike AR, Assisted Reality doesn’t immerse users in a virtual environment. Instead, it connects information with specific physical objects and overlays it on them in a semi-virtual environment. Most importantly, it relies on voice commands rather than traditional hand gestures, allowing workers to keep their hands free and PPE on at all times.
Applications Of Assisted Reality in 2024
Manufacturing
Analyzes real-time data to predict equipment failures and optimize maintenance schedules, preventing costly downtime.
Field Service
Technicians gain hands-free access to manuals and remote experts, enabling quicker issue resolution and happier customers.
Health Care
Surgeons gain enhanced vision using AR overlays, leading to more precise procedures and faster recoveries.
Facility Management
Empowers teams to inspect buildings and monitor infrastructure like pipelines and power grids effortlessly.
Telecommunications
Overlays digital instructions directly onto equipment, guiding technicians step-by-step through intricate procedures.
Construction
Aids in design decisions and project coordination by visualizing projects in real-world environments.
Telepresenz: Next Gen AR-AI Platform
Studies predict that AR alone can boost worker productivity by 25% across industries, while AI-powered predictive maintenance can save companies billions in operational costs. Telepresenz, being a blend and unification of Next Gen Smart Tech Platforms like Assisted Reality (AR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML), is making headway into MRO and connected worker space.
