The Top 5 Industries That Will Benefit the Most From Augmented Reality

By Roger Bishop

Augmented reality and virtual reality get most of their fame from the videogame industry, but the more practical uses are becoming more and more utilized across almost every major industry in the United States. Virtual reality is a complete sensical change from an individual’s given surrounding, and generally involves putting on some kind of encompassing headgear that shuts out what is actually around the users. Augmented reality, on the other hand, utilizes technology created to interact with reality, “augmenting” what is actually already there. One of the simplest examples would be a photo filter on your phone that adds sunglasses to whomever you’re taking a picture of. This article will take a look at 5 industries that can (or are already) benefit from evolutions in Augmented Reality (AR).

Construction

Augmented reality in construction can serve a number of purposes, with two of the most important being in safety and saving money. The U.S. construction business generates more than $1.2 trillion every year, and employs more than 7 million Americans. With that many players in the game, even pennies saved here and there can add up quickly. Recent trends, mainly caused by regulation and availability from the public sector, have shown lacks of productivity in the construction industry caused by poor design, poor management, and lacks in development.

AR models can help identify design issues before building starts, saving time and money, and can also help during construction, showing precise directions regarding certain installations and trades. AR is also being heavily utilized in training, and the construction sector is following suit.

Rehabilitation

The uses for AR in healthcare are aplenty, and growing by the day; however, most uses are still in a “clinical trials” phase to determine what is working and what is not. When it comes to rehab, though, AR is already a proven means of increasing therapy outputs. For PTSD, in particular, augmented reality programs can help patients take very small “doses” of whatever causes their trauma in an attempt to slowly ween them off the fear. For soldiers, this can mean subtly adapting to loud noises in a controlled environment until those noises and interruptions no longer act as triggers for past traumatic experiences.

Nursing

For nursing, training is a part of the weekly grind. From cultural diversity training to new procedures, nurses are permanently learning, and AR is giving them a chance to do so in a much more effective manner. Smart glasses are a new technology that allow nurses to work on a patient while having information about the procedure appear, literally, right in front of their eyes on a glass screen that is something out of a James Bond film. This AR training also allows for nurses to get more experience without actually working on a sick individual.

Education

As a whole, the education sector serves to benefit greatly from AR as well. For trade schools, the possibilities are almost endless, but even general, every day education is enacting some forms of augmented reality into their curriculums. There are many AR apps being tailored for education, and as long as schools can provide equal means of utilizing these technologies among all students, the interactive aspects are expected to help students stay focused, as well.

Video Games

Of course, video games are still the industry that most of us first saw AR in action, with the Pokemon Go’s of the world, and the industry certainly isn’t shying away from AR now that it’s becoming popular in other sectors of business. Global augmented reality is the “new future” and allows gamers to, literally, see things that only exist digitally, all across the actual world we live in and breath on every day.

AI to Boost Military Info-Tech Market

  • Pentagon spending on artificial intelligence is expected to grow faster than the overall defense information-technology market, according to one analyst.
  • Eighteen contracts with a total value of $489 million were awarded by the Defense Department in 2019 for AI products and services, noted Brad Curran, industry principal for aerospace, defense and security at Frost & Sullivan.

By Jon Harper

While military spending on IT is projected to increase about 2 percent in 2021, artificial intelligence is projected to do better within that portfolio over the short-, medium- and long-term, he said during a recent webinar.

The Pentagon established the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center in 2018, and each of the services and many other organizations within the Defense Department are also doing their own work with the technology, he noted.

“The contracts to assist analysts and to assist human understanding, to be able to take large amounts of data and do predictive analytics is very important to DoD for logistics, for maintenance, for intelligence, for communications, to be able to make the best possible use of the crowded frequency spectrum,” he said. “Many different areas are using artificial intelligence more and more within DoD.”

Contract trends include computer vision engineering to improve network performance, and containerized and deployable machine learning systems, according to his presentation slides.

The market represents an opening for commercial firms, he noted. However, they might not always be able to sell commercial-off-the-shelf systems.

“Firms that provide artificial intelligence software and services … have to be flexible enough to modify their products to be able to work within and for a larger systems integrator or in contracting directly with DoD, to make sure that they are able to bring operational advantages,” he said. “They may have to modify it a bit and make sure that they’re meeting DoD operational needs.”

In addition to bidding on contracts directly, commercial companies can get their foot in the door of the military acquisition enterprise by working with large systems integrators, he noted.

“They’re always looking for subcontractors,” Curran said. “It’s a great way to break into the DoD market by partnering with established DoD network providers.”

VIDEO – PyroGenesis $PYR.ca Shareholder Q&A and Discussion About First Plasma Torch Contract with Major Iron Ore Producer $RTN $NOC $UTX $DDD.ca $HPQ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:31 PM on Wednesday, November 25th, 2020

PyroGenesis (PYR:TSX) recently UP-Listed to the TSX from the TSX Venture on the strength of some major sales agreements for its plasma torch technology.  Specifically, PYR announced an $11.5M sales to the US Navy for systems on two aircraft carriers, as well as, a $25M + contract for use by one of the biggest high-tech aluminum smelters in the world.  

Yesterday, PYR announced the signing of an initial plasma torch contract with a Major Iron Ore Producer.  The initial sale amount of $1.8M (for just 1 unit) doesn’t come close to the size of the agreements above – but it follows the exact same game plan of starting small and finishing big, something the Company alluded to in the press release quote which stated the following;

“It is expected that future sales with this Client will include a separate continued after-sale services agreement. The Client is a multi-billion-dollar international producer of iron ore pellets, one of the largest in the industry, whose name will remain confidential for competitive reasons. The Client, which has committed to reduce its greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, has over ten (10) plants, each possibly requiring up to 50 plasma torches.”

The math has not alluded investors, who first had a slew of their own questions which CEO Peter Pascali answered as part of this great interview.
