Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that creates a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way by a person using special electronic equipment, such as a VR headset. The user is fully immersed in the virtual environment and can interact with it using devices such as controllers or gloves. This can include things like looking around, moving through space, and even touching or manipulating virtual objects.

Examples of Virtual Reality include:

1. Gaming experiences, such as playing a first-person shooter game or exploring a fantasy world

2. Training simulations, such as for pilots, surgeons, or soldiers

3. Educational experiences, such as virtual field trips or anatomy lessons

4. Therapeutic applications, such as exposure therapy for phobias or virtual reality-assisted physical therapy

5. Social experiences, such as virtual reality-enabled video conferencing or online social events

6. Art and entertainment, such as virtual reality movies and music concerts

7. Virtual reality Head Mounted Display like Oculus Quest, PS VR, HTC Vive, and Valve Index.

Mixed Reality

Mixed Reality (MR) is a term that refers to a combination of both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). It involves the integration of digital information with the user’s environment in real-time. This can include the overlay of virtual objects in the real world, as well as the ability for users to interact with those objects. There are several different types of MR, including Augmented Reality, Augmented Virtuality, and Virtuality Continuum which can be categorized based on the degree of immersion and interaction with the virtual and real world.

There are several examples of Mixed Reality (MR) currently in use or under development. Some examples include:

1. Smart Glasses: These are wearable devices that overlay digital information on the user’s view of the real world. They can be used for tasks such as navigation, language translation, and displaying information about the environment.

2. Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs): These are devices that are worn on the head and provide a fully immersive MR experience. They can be used for gaming, training simulations, and remote collaboration.

3. Medical and surgical training: MR is being used to create realistic simulations for medical and surgical training.

4. Industrial and manufacturing: MR can be used to provide workers with real-time information about the machinery and equipment they are working on, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.

5. Educational and entertainment purposes: MR can be used for creating interactive museum exhibits, theme park rides, and other immersive experiences.

6. Retail and e-commerce: MR can be used to create virtual product demonstrations, allowing customers to see how a product will look in their home before they buy it.

7. Design and Architecture: MR can be used to create virtual walkthroughs of buildings, allowing architects and designers to get a sense of how a space will look and feel before it is built.

Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality

Emerging technologies such as VR and AR help to visualize and interact with virtual environments or objects using either a headset, glasses or a simple mobile phone.

With a dedicated team consisting of 3D designers and specialized engineers, A101 develops Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) apps for multiple hardware including Google Cardboard, Samsung VR gear or even oculus rift and htc vive as well as mobile handsets iOS and Android. Those native developments are done with high-level 3D graphics rendered with the famous and award-winning game engines Unity and Unreal 3D.

Immerse yourself in a 3D realistic environment and interact with Virtual Reality (VR) or mix reality which helps in many fields. Many case studies are exponentially used in many verticals such as education, healthcare, military, manufacturing, video games, real estate, retail, event and activations, HSE, oil and gas, engineering, video and entertainment.

Games & elearning

A101 was one of the first companies to provide entertainment and elearning solutions in Qatar.

Starting with Touchscreen and web, our deliveries have been taken to mobile, tablet and interactive platforms such as VR and AR. In environments such as museums, enterprises, theme parks, healthcare and events those developments are commonly used as quiz, tests and exams, 3D games and simulators, value chain validators, touchscreen apps, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and many other interactive outputs.

The purpose of those developments are diverse, either for promotional purposes (marketing) or simply informative (infotainment) they also can be educational (edutainment). With a higher retention rate of information than traditional mediums, the use cases in marketing and education are limitless and break the language barriers commonly found in passive learning methods.

In the corporate environment, the use of such an approach is becoming more and more popular for induction programs, training, knowledge validation, professional development, HSE training, CSR activities and much more!

Innovation Labs and Other Technologies

An Innovation Lab is loosely defined as collaboration within or between companies and other organizations, such as NGOs, government entities or think tanks.

Its sole purpose is to solve problems, obstacles or challenges – termed ‘breakthrough solutions’ – by fostering and developing creative and innovative ideas, in particular by using the latest technologies. Your business can set up its own cross-functional Innovation Lab in-house or, more ideally, enlist the assistance of a specialist agency that is up-to-date with the latest global developments within this space, in order to drive the process consistently. Such a team would then review the challenges or requirements outlined, help your company to refine the requisite goals, conduct research, and brainstorm and present innovative solutions and suggest the best way to apply them. As always, clear objectives with a dedicated purpose will provide a road map to a satisfactory outcome. Methodologies include open source innovation, metrics, design-focused and human-design thinking, crowdsourcing and experimental testing and trials. Some of the current new areas and trends in technology solutions being incorporated into the scope of Innovation Labs include Cashless Payments, the Internet of Things (IoT), beacon technology (Indoor navigation and tracking) and blockchain technology, just to name just a few. Innovation Labs have recently become a highly popular way for those seeking to tap into inventive thinking, and when involving a consultant agency, typically transcend from ideation into final implementation and execution.
