At Viewport we have found that exposure to augmented reality encourages creative thinking. Whether you use it to work, play, learn, or connect, you will pull different positives from each. For example, Western Australia has strong ties to the mining industry. Much of the augmented reality in Perth is for training and education, providing higher immersion and data retention rates.

There’s no doubt that Augmented Reality received a bump in 2020, you’ll read that almost everywhere. However, Australia’s adoption of remote interactions was already on the rise through various social media platforms.

Maybe you didn’t personally post it, but who hasn’t tried a filter?

In wider Australia, the augmented reality narrative is in its infancy. While it is true that an ever-growing number of companies have adopted and integrated immersive technology for training, education and safety – the focus is mainly in VR.

A future with augmented reality tools – such as apps and visualisers – promises something far greater.

Augmented reality promises to be as influential to our society as the smartphone.

What does AR mean?

Augmented reality refers to any technology that augments a user’s perception of their environment – while usually focussed on vision, it can also be auditory.

To elaborate slightly:

Generally, digital information is superimposed over an existing environment – in the real world. Information is tailored to the user’s physical position, catering to a context or task, then enhancing that context or aiding in completion of the task.

The soon to be ubiquitous nature of Augmented Reality tech is already apparent. Today, AR can be experienced at scale on smart devices, touchscreens, smart displays, included in projection mapped experiences, HoloLens II – and head-mountable devices, and other soon to launch market ready wearables.

Impact of Augmented Reality
in Australia & Beyond

Forbes predicts a vast impact across the eCommerce, Food service, Industrial, and Education sectors.

Within eCommerce, augmented reality can create more fulfilling shopping experiences. It goes without saying that they would be more secure.

Customers love innovative experiences. While this may be true across all markets, it’s especially so in food service. You could learn from a virtual chef, or explore the environmental origins of your meal.

In the industrial context, it’s about access and visibility into complex technologies and supply chains. In full 3D, customers can see how their clothes are made. Or a manager can examine their shipping efficiency.
You click purchase, and get an offer to join the most picturesque part of the item’s journey to you.

Education will certainly be more engaging. EdTech will grow to a AUD$243 billion dollar industry by 2025.
Before long, all universities in Australia (and some schools) will have dedicated AR labs, helping educators bridge physical and augmented experiences.

The presence of augmented reality in Perth is growing rapidly. The advances of 5G connectivity and increased data loads have seen most remote mine sites leverage the technology for training, safety and education.

Recent upheaval caused unexpected creativity, through the increased adoption of real-time 3D and other immersive technologies. These have met the need to stay resilient and provide remote support.

Immersive storytelling with augmented reality, can bring worlds to life for everyone. – not only students and employees. One example from our own portfolio was Eco Structures, a luxury glamping tent manufacturer which distributes across Australia and around the world.

We recreated the experience of exploring their designs in 1:1 scale, both internally and externally, and made them fit in your pocket. All at the tap of a finger. This streamlined their marketing and sales pipeline, drastically reducing costs in product presentations and improving customer engagement cycles.

It is well understood that smart investments in AR technologies drive business impact.

Our Experience

Global leader Austin Engineering, wanted to improve their customer journey. In an industry where spend is big, and machinery, even bigger, this was a great opportunity.

We created a multisensory experience that put the gigantic products in clients hands. Empowering users to customise their ideal machine, in augmented reality and virtual reality. This broke the no travel barrier for their international sales team.

We have rendered exquisite developments for another of our valued clients Colliers International. Having these architectural design turned into an interactive digital twin allows viewers to inspect them closely, and understand how the spaces work. The clarity they give helps propositions to get approval from councils and planning committees.

Please scope our portfolio to see the AR work we have done for Coles, Cadbury and Target.

Augmented Reality Glasses & Headsets

Augmented Reality resolves workplace challenges through easy capture and documentation of expert best practices and overlay of this digital content in real-world environments.

The vast impact from all-in-one (AIO) augmented reality devices has yet to be felt. A major accelerant for augmented reality will be the sheer number of these devices soon available in Australia and the world.

Whether it’s Apple’s heavily awaited AR glasses, or Microsoft’s HoloLens 2. Or, any number of recently released AR headsets; Epson MOVERIO BT-300, Everysight Raptor, Google Glass Enterprise Edition, Kopin SOLOS, Toshiba dynaEdge AR100 Viewer, Vuzix Blade Smart Glasses, ThirdEye Gen X2, Vuzix M300.

In the four months between January and May 2020 Microsoft saw a 13x increase in HoloLens 2 use for remote assistance (since January 2020). For the Perth based Rio Tinto Operations Centre, Viewport sourced 20 Hololens 2 headsets for Rio at the peak of lockdown, providing setup, training and support so they could continue operations while adhering to social distancing guidelines.

It’s not hard to see that people’s minds have changed; immersive technologies are no longer niche and unattainable. They’re for all of us.

The retail market in general has evolved. Interactive and immersive technologies will revolutionise the space. Faster, more powerful graphics, facilitated by Australia’s 5G no doubt playing a role.
