Frequently asked questions

What are the Metaverse911 Insights articles about?

Metaverse911 Insights are articles on how other companies use AR, VR and holograms, and what manufacturers can learn from them. They are industry examples, not Metaverse911 projects. Metaverse911's own work is in its case studies. The articles are grouped into augmented reality on the shop floor, HoloBox use cases, and VR training and events.

How do manufacturers use tablet AR on the shop floor?

Manufacturers use AR on tablets to inspect parts, check quality, guide assembly and train staff. Industry examples in Metaverse911 Insights include a forklift maker cutting weldment checks from 2 to 4 hours to 15 to 20 minutes, a truck maker cutting QA operator training from five weeks to two, and a crane maker checking welded parts before painting.

How are life-size hologram displays used by businesses?

Life-size holograms are used in shops, malls, banks, hotels, sport and live events. Industry examples in Metaverse911 Insights include a bank's AI hologram avatar explaining products in its branch, a Nordic hotel operator's AI hologram receptionist for check-in, a US mall operator's 30-mall hologram advertising network and a sports broadcaster bringing remote athletes to the studio.

What results have companies reported from VR safety training?

Industry examples in Metaverse911 Insights report clear results from VR safety training. A heavy manufacturing conglomerate rolled out a 17-module VR safety library in 18 languages and cut recordable incidents by 35%. An Indian manufacturing group used standalone, multilingual VR safety training to cut training time by 40% and recordable safety incidents by 43% in a year.

How can VR and holograms be run at high throughput during corporate events?

One industry example in Metaverse911 Insights describes the 3-minute rule: a professional services firm ran VR and hologram fans at an internal summit using 3-minute experiences, serving about 15 people per headset an hour. Another shows a Big-4 consulting firm assessing the AI maturity of over 10,000 employees with floor podium quizzes in its offices.
