In collaboration with ImmersiveXR we set to work to build a full warehouse full of shelves and boxes, and all the details one would expect to see up close and in-person, albeit in virtual space.  It was important to recreate a realistic space that the user could explore to sell through the capabilities of the Voxware AR solution, to put the user in the same situation as their workforce to really highlight the value.  To drive this point home, and to add a little fun to the experience, we gamified the run-of-the-mill task of “picking” (finding and pulling specific product from the shelves) so that the user can time themselves in a comparison of picking the old fashioned way, i.e. by sight with nothing more than a barcode scanner, versus empowered by the Voxware AR solution.  With Voxware AR clear, optimized directions to the product are overlaid in the users field of vision, and simple voice commands trigger image recognition technology to scan and register the selected product – providing real-time feedback on the correct box and exactly how many of them to pick.  By putting all this power in a wearable set of glasses, it frees employees to use their hands unencumbered by traditional scanning devices or paper-based logs, and provides clear visual feedback to eliminate any confusion or mistakes.

 Hands down, without a doubt Voxware AR as evidenced through the VR demo was shown to save time, and make the process of picking in a warehouse easier and much more efficient than it has ever been.  Tapping into the potential of Augmented and Virtual reality to drive innovation and change is what sets Voxware apart in their field, and shows how embracing future-forward technologies can position any business for growth well into the future.
