Augmented Reality (AR) is revolutionising numerous sectors, from entertainment to industrial to medical. Even in gas detection there are several advantages and the implications it could have are really interesting.
Augmented reality: what is it?
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes digital information onto the real world through devices such as smartphones, tablets, AR glasses and visors. Unlike virtual reality (VR), which creates a completely digital environment, AR enriches the user experience by integrating virtual elements into a real context.
Augmented reality: Where does it come from?
The origins of AR date back to the 1960s, when the first head-mounted display, known as “The sword of damocles”, was invented. In the 1990s, NASA and other organisations began experimenting with this technology for industrial and training applications. It is only in recent years, however, that AR has become accessible to the general public thanks to technological advances and the spread of powerful mobile devices.
Augmented reality in various sectors
The sectors in which AR is finding application are diverse:
- Entertainment: the advent of games such as Pokemon GO has demonstrated the potential of the tool
- Training and Education: educational applications in AR allow interacting with educational content in an engaging and more effective way
- Healthcare: doctors using AR for improved surgical procedures and diagnosis, visualising vital data overlaid on the operating field
- Industrial: in industry, AR facilitates maintenance and training, improving operational efficiency and safety at work
The Benefits of Sensitron's Augmented Reality Gas Detectors
The use of augmented reality aims to enhance the customer experience. By adopting AR, the intention is to offer an immersive three-dimensional view of the gas detectors, allowing customers to explore them in detail from every angle. Through the special filter on our instagram profile, it is possible to see not only the products superimposed on reality, but also infographics containing technical and detector-specific data. This also makes it possible to use augmented reality as a training tool, having a detector in AR simply by opening instagram.
