AR apps for sales presentations

Two iPad apps. One puts warehouse layouts on the meeting table, the other shows an automated guided vehicle at full size in the customer's room.

Task

Sales needed a simple way to show warehouse layouts at the customer’s site. For one presentation, the real automated guided vehicle (AGV) could not be delivered.

Approach

AR Warehouse Viewer: Unity with ARKit image tracking on the iPad. The app shows several layout variants. Distribution to the devices through TestFlight.

AR AGV: I optimized the geometry of the vehicle, then animated and textured it, and built the AR app. The AGV moves through the room at its original size.

Result

An app that is easy to carry and quick to start at the customer. The AGV could be shown at real size without the device. The apps were used with about 15 to 20 customers.
