Many job sectors already utilize AR. Even the retail industry uses AR to simulate complicated interactions with customers. Most notably, however, next-level AR technology appears in the medical and aerospace fields, as well as manufacturing and the military.

Medicine: 

 In medicine, it is challenging to get hands-on experience performing procedures without risk. AR helps remove this barrier, allowing medical students to learn about anatomy and practice surgeries. Anatomy apps and other technologies allow trainees to use mirroring holograms of their bodies.

Space: 

 AR gives the aerospace industry ways to see an overlay of parts on real models and easy access to complicated instructions. Just like in medicine, some of this technology can help prepare trainees for real situations. With an app that can reconstruct Mars’ landscape, scientists can prepare for future expeditions from the comfort of their offices.

Manufacturing:

With the ability to move from theory to practice much more quickly, the manufacturing industry benefits heavily from AR technology. Headsets can provide real-time, step-by-step instructions and allow trainers to provide feedback during practice. This particular technology is excellent for welders, and trainees can learn faster and practice often. Some manufacturing AR technology utilizes voice commands, images, and videos. Collaboration with others is also possible by sharing an idea through AR glasses.

Retail: 

As mentioned earlier, retail is starting to use AR in training scenarios. Besides situational practice, employees can access training on products by scanning them. Onboarding can also benefit from AR enhancements. Activities such as touring the sales floor and virtually meeting the team are excellent for getting acquainted with the company. From sales training to learning about safety procedures, preparing for a retail environment can be more stress-free as a trainee becomes comfortable with transactions and customer interaction.

Military:

 The U.S. military uses AR combat training to simulate environments that require situational and operational awareness. This experience helps soldiers adapt to distinguishing friendlies from enemies. With this technology, developing the tools needed to be aware of time, space and forces can be more frequent and in-depth.

Conclusion

Augmented reality-based training is already being used in different job training scenarios across multiple fields and it has already emerged as a key-value creator for numerous companies and organizations depending heavily on continuous skill development to stay ahead of the competition or just to stay efficient as the latest benchmarks. in the years to come, AR training will encompass more industries and business niches.

Needless to say, AR has come a long way in changing the landscape of every industry. Would you like to emerge into the future? Contact us! We can help you develop the tools you need to train your team.
