AR and VR are becoming more and more popular in recent years

More and more augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications are being developed. User acceptance is thus obviously increasing. The initial reluctance now seems to have given way to creativity. That is, AR and VR are becoming more and more popular in recent years.

In this article, we collect examples of what use cases for AR and VR currently exist. The most recent examples first:

Telekom’s article describes the topic as follows:

“Thanks to smart glasses, we will experience the world differently. We will either learn more about what we are looking at through superimposed information (augmented reality = AR). Or we will immerse ourselves in completely new, digital worlds (virtual reality = VR). Whether for gaming, shopping, learning or even building a house – such “smart glasses” will change almost everything. But until that happens, smart apps – and your smartphone – can do a lot, especially with AR. Here are the six most interesting examples from both worlds:”

What is the difference between AR and VR? Important question and here is the answer

We think this is a very good compilation. So it’s worth getting some basic information here.

What are the examples in the telecom article:

Building a house, accurately measuring clothing size to avoid returns, furnishing an apartment, planning eye surgery, simulating deep-sea walks or simulating virtual meetings.

Here is another reference to an article within our portal.

This one is all about Pepsi, the US Army, Acura, L’Oréal, and Disney.

Examples in B2B for AR and VR

Strangely enough, at first glance you don’t find many applications for AR and VR in B2B. But we are well connected and after a short inquiry we got a few tips from our colleague Harald Henn. These examples show that the applications have definitely been used for some time.

One example is the following application. “Making work easier, with step-by-step instructions, digital training manuals and real-time data visualization.” That’s how the company describes its USP.

Update: Here’s another link to an exciting company: Rescue (by LogMeIn)

This is about live support through remote maintenance and call-in by service representatives. It is about the transmission of camera images, which are then used to provide assistance. Co-browsing, which has become accepted, is another application.
