Extended Reality … A Look Beyond
How can Extended Reality (XR) technology enhance your customer experience, shape the product design process and improve training?
Through our InnoQuest Innovation session, Northeast Ohio innovation leaders gathered at Vocon – a cutting-edge architectural and design firm in mid-town Cleveland – and learned more about Extended Reality (XR) applications – including augmented, virtual and mixed reality. With RazorEdge we explored how XR technology can enhance customer experience and shape design processes, and we tried out new technologies – including a variety of VR headsets and applications and Vocon’s new VR Design Room. Plus, we experienced the amazing Vocon offices, so we could see a space that makes a statement to all who enter that is consistent with Vocon’s marketing message and company values.
What participants are saying:
“VR is already here. People who adopt it early will lead innovation.”
“Got to experience cutting edge technology in a real-world application because of EDGE. Makes us keep up with new innovation.”
Key Takeaways:.
- XR isn’t a tech; it’s a new channel for communication.
- Saw how different applications can help improve design and customer experience.
- New applications for business are emerging (marketing, healthcare, products, training, processes).
- XR can be a powerful and cost-effective design tool as well as an external sales and marketing tool.
