Want to improve your customer journey? The obvious answers look like this:
Empower customers to envision their ideas,

Bring customers dreams to life,
Shorten the path to purchase,
Increase buyer confidence.

It is common to be confused by lists like these. They are often unhelpful. Many say nothing of substance.
Thankfully, the answer is simple; and it lies in immersive and interactive technology. Virtual, interactive and augmented experiences provide innovative customer journeys that are unparalleled in today’s ever advancing world of consumer options.

Captivate your customers by empowering them to generate their own visions.

Unity (a leading 3D technologies developer) reported that 63% of surveyed companies used immersive technologies such as real-time 3D, AR and VR to navigate the challenges of 2020. 71% of companies plan to increase their use of immersive technologies in 2021.

Product Customisation in Retail

The Hololens 2 allows for rapid deployment of remote training, working and monitoring solutions that utilise the latest in Extended Reality (XR) technology.

The HoloLens 2 allows maintenance personnel to consult with other experts around the world on what the correct course of action should be, or pull up holographic step by step worksheets that allow even junior personnel to complete complex tasks with ease.

Using an off the shelf solution like Remote Assist 365, combined with our services of hardware procurement, enterprise account management, team onboarding and ongoing support the Hololens 2 allows for teams to stay interconnected in ways never before thought possible – allowing you to adapt now and remain one step ahead – no matter what the future holds.

Hololens 2 and Remote Assist 365 can allow reduced personnel numbers on site, as the skills and knowledge of a single senior engineer based in an operations centre in Perth can be available virtually at multiple locations globally in a single day. Assist a junior engineer on a coal operation on the East Coast of Australia, then within minutes jump into solving your teams problems in West Africa.

This not only reduces costs in payroll and training, but also reduces company travel and accommodation costs. Furthermore we are mitigating risk of human factors by reducing the amount of personnel placed in high risk scenarios. And finally, we are reducing downtime by having senior technicians immediately available at any time, and at any location.
