10-to-1 | What Would Augment Reality..?

Training is another big area where #AR can give a sense of realism to training exercises. In some cases, it may not be feasible to recreate a situation in real life, but using virtual reality is not an option. In such cases #AR can help bridge the gap between the real world and a training scenario. For example, it may not be safe for the military to use real explosives as part of a training exercise. However, it still wants its soldiers to be able to adapt to their current surroundings. As a result, #AR can allow them to simulate these special effects without creating a danger to the soldiers on the ground.

Aviation -- pilots, especially in the military, have been using “augmented reality” devices since WW2, where gunsights used reflections to project a reticle onto the display. A plane’s speed and turn rate was also factored into how the reticle moved, allowing pilots to compensate for their aircraft’s movement. These systems became much more advanced as time went on, and were adapted to fit commercial aircraft. More recently, helmet-mounted displays which are directly in front of a pilot’s eye allows them to retain their situational awareness while being able to look away from their displays. The latest models also have an integrated night-vision function, as well as other features that means that the traditional ‘heads-up display’ would no longer be needed.

Why not simply use it for watching my human interaction? At dating: Does she like me? At a conference: Does the boss really like my contribution (just let the device analyse his expression and compare it within a microsecond with similar expresions of five millions other white male superiors)? And please, Google: Implant the AR glasses devices into my retina and ears and help me injecting sensor chips: I urgently want to feel like a robot,not a human.

VR Company Events Engage your candidates more deeply by sharing a 360-degree livestream and recording of both your internal and external events for those who may not be able to participate in-person. You can use VR videos for everything from your happy hours to open houses, meetups, hackathons, training workshops, conferences, CSR events and even office holiday parties. Unlike today’s video or webinar recordings, VR allows candidates to fully immerse themselves in the event and explore from all angles to get a full picture of the event as well as your office, culture and attendees, as if they were actually attending in-person. You can even extend your VR livestream or recording to capture the event setup and takedown, giving candidates an exclusive backstage, “behind-the-scene” look at your event, which can be just as interesting and fun as the actual event itself.

A Day In The Life” VR Experiences Most candidates want to know what it’s like to work in the role they’re interested in before applying. It’s why many companies have started writing blog posts to get employees to share their insights into what “a day in the life of” a specific role may look like. With VR videos, you can go beyond words and photos and give candidates the ability to truly experience and see a role through the lens of an employee. Candidates can follow employees and get a closer look at what they would do on a typical day in various roles at your company ? from the meetings they attend to the projects they’re working on, and even the co-workers they hang out with at lunch. “A day in the life” VR videos offer a completely unique storytelling and brand experience to your candidates that will help you stand out from your competitors and, at the same time, help candidates self-select based on the content they watch, which ultimately improves your recruiting efficiencies by lowering the number of applicants who may not be a good fit.
