THE Pokemon Go hype may have run its course, but the use of immersive technology such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) for business applications is only getting started in Singapore. From classroom and conferencing applications, to virtual showrooms and training environments, local companies are developing solutions that enable remote work, increase customer reach and accelerate training programmes. Immersive tech is also being made available to a wider range of small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) through the SME Centres, supported by government agency Enterprise Singapore (ESG).
One such provider, MR platform Serl.io, offers a way to create collaborative sessions for both educational and enterprise purposes. For example, an educational project that it worked on with Crescent Girls School involved creating a virtual nuclear site modelled on the 2011 Fukushima accident. Students used headsets to virtually explore and collect samples from the site for analysis.
