For global confectionary giant Nestle, millions of dollars hinge on decisions such as where to place products in a store.
Thanks to the use of augmented reality spatial computing technology, Nestle workers are able to walk through a virtual store to optimise product placement, before making any actual changes.
This has led to a 30 percent reduction in physical prototype costs.
Toyota is using similar technology, allowing its engineers to collaborate on the design of vehicles in immersive 3D environments.
This has increased design iteration times by 25 percent.
And spatial computing is also being used for Defence personnel training for mission-critical scenarios in risk-free virtual environments.
All of these examples involve the use of spatial computing and artificial intelligence technology developed by Sydney-based Vection Technologies, which is bringing spatial computing to businesses around the world.
Vection Technologies’ IntegratedXR Platform combines virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence to address real-world problems for businesses across manufacturing, healthcare, defence, retail and education.
It includes design and engineering solutions, training and operations systems, AI-powered conversational platforms, logistics optimisation and immersive retail experiences.
