Augmented reality and gas detection: what are the benefits?
Augmented Reality (AR) is revolutionizing numerous fields, 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?
AR is a technology that overlays 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-world context.
Augmented reality: Where does it come from?
The origins of AR go back to the 1960s, when the first head-mounted display, known as “The sword of damocles,” was attempted. In the 1990s, NASA and other organizations began experimenting with the technology for industrial and training applications. It is only in recent years, however, that AR has become accessible to the general public due to technological advances and the spread of powerful mobile devices.
Augmented Reality in various industries
The areas 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 for engaging and more effective interaction with educational content
- Healthcare: physicians using AR for improved surgical procedures and diagnosis by visualizing vital data overlaid on the operative field
- Industrial: in industrial settings, AR facilitates maintenance and training, improving operational efficiency and workplace safety
The Benefits of Sensitron's Augmented Reality Gas Detectors
The use of augmented reality aims to enhance the customer experience. By adopting AR, the intent is to offer an immersive three-dimensional view of gas detectors, allowing customers to explore them in detail from every angle. Through the appropriate filter on our instagram profile, it is possible to see superimposed on reality not only the products, but also infographics containing technical and detector-specific data. This also allows augmented reality to be used as a training tool, having an AR detector available simply by opening instagram.
