Augmented reality (AR) is becoming a more and more widely accepted tool in a variety of different industries. Despite of starting out in the gaming realm, it is becoming essential for business applications and different disciplines including construction, building and design, as well as engineering and science.

Today we use AR to not only visualize a concept or idea, we use it to show the user  what their project will look like in 3D before they have made a substantial investment of time, money and resources into the physical creation of the structure.

At Trend3r, we use Hololens as a tool of choice because it is light, untethered, and it permits us to develop custom applications and functionality to meet our clients’ needs. We don’t take a cookie cutter approach with our projects, we come up with specific and scalable solutions to help our clients succeed in their pursuits.

We created a demonstration of a fully immersive space ship in a galaxy model to demonstrate the ability of the AR and Hololens to produce high quality graphics, interactive components that can be manipulated within a model, and we wanted to have fun with it! Our ship flies through our imaginary galaxy, the sun is shining bright, and those pesky asteroids are everywhere, so watch out!  Fun aside, all of these capabilities can be transferred to a business application to see moving parts on the equipment, move inside a building or structure, manipulate the objects and change them in real time. We can do all of that and more today.
