PRISM Video: Web-based Augmented Reality for Industry

Written By James Corbett

At PRISM, Michael Connolly spoke about 'Augmented Reality for Industry', and how WebAR enables immediate deployment of industrial training, medical assistance, and collaborative work experiences while eliminating platform gatekeepers.

Michael is an Animation and Game Development Lecturer at Dundalk Institute of Technology. His presentation also looked how WebAR removes barriers to adoption of AR in industry. "What we liked about it was that you just go to the website and it works. There's no download times and it functions just like a web app... we do find is that people will use it straight away."

Michael also underlined the low-cost AR benefits versus expensive headsets, and how it can be used as a tool for guided maintenance, ""How much was the Apple Vision… two grand? Three grand? And this is €10."
