SPOTLIGHT: Spray painting in spray booths

05/04/2017

Have you managed to access the augmented reality capabilities on our recently released Body Repairers Guide to Workplace Safety?

One of the major health and safety hazards within the panel beating, body repair industry can be found in the spray booths.

Spray booths are enclosed or partially enclosed structures designed to prevent or reduce exposure to hazardous chemicals or vapours. A spray booth should be used when spray painting vehicles or parts with a hazardous chemical.

To interact with the spray painting AR feature all you need to do is follow these three simple steps:

Download the Pro-Vis AR app via the Apple App Store or Google Play
Open the app and find your industry icon: Body Repairers
Once loaded, use your smart device to scan over the spray painting image. Presto!

What happens next remains to be seen.

Spray booth ventilation control systems need to be considered and can include one, if not all, of the following:

Spray booths should operate a pre-purge cycle to remove any residue contaminants and also operate a minimum of a five-minute post-purge period following spraying.
Whenever possible, the spray should be directed towards the exhaust air outlet of a booth.
For example, when spraying a tall object in a downdraught booth no spraying should be performed above shoulder height.
Extension poles or lift platforms should be used so that the operator can get above the object and spray towards the air exhaust outlet in the floor.
The spray painter should never be positioned between the spray gun and the exhaust air outlet.

Guest Feature: “What Marketers Need to Understand About Augmented Reality” by Ana Javornik

09/03/2017

Is Augmented Reality something you’ve come across in your line of work? Is it something you consider as part of your marketing or sales strategy?

“Imagine being able to see how a couch would fit in your living room before actually buying it — or being able to see which sunglasses suit your face or which lipstick looks good on you without physically trying anything on.”

Well, when it comes to the above scenarios, outlined by Ana Javornik in her article and research, this is already a reality for companies such as IKEA, Ray-Ban and Cover Girl who are currently using augmented reality technology to enhance their consumer experiences.

But what are the insights into augmented reality and its role in the marketing field? Ana Javornik delves into her findings and offers some pointers for marketers to consider when heading down the augmented reality path.

“When the virtual is well fitted with the physical and interacts with it, that’s when AR magic happens.”

Christmas is taking on a new dimension this year as Augmented Reality grows and more industries and companies adapt to bring a more engaging experience to consumers.

“Pacific Fair, the Gold Coast’s largest shopping destination and AMP Capital Shopping Centres (AMPCSC) are set to create a fun adventure for the family this Christmas with the launch of ‘Pacific Fair 12 Days of Christmas’, which brings art installations to life with innovative augmented reality technology.”

Lucille Mccart, from B&T News, explores the Christmas trail that the AMP Capital Shopping Centre is adopting this year to give “shoppers a truly immersive and magical Christmas experience”.

Using Augmented Reality as a Tool for Safety

11/02/2017

How do you try and get the message of safety and health across to those in your workplace? Have you ever had to consider the health and safety of others? What about your own health and safety?

“Overall, most employers perceived that they managed health and safety empowerment and justice well and frequently in their businesses. However, up to one-quarter of employers indicated they did not frequently empower their workers through active consultation around safety and did not always treat their workers justly, especially when investigating accidents.” – Safe Work Australia

To help workers, within the public works and services sector, in their attempts to increase awareness, engage, train and share experiences of health and safety procedures or situations, the Pro-Vis AR app enhances the traditional print media based information and provides a window to further interactive, digitally accessible materials.

Imagine training your workers with digital materials and resources, imagine a more interactive induction process with better safety outcomes… The AR component on the Guide will unlock a new dimension to education and a new way for workers and contractors, engineers and supervisors to absorb information.

The National Guide to Public Works & Services Safety is supported by the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia (IPWEA) and the National Safety Council of Australia (NSCA) Foundation.

GUEST FEATURE: What is the Difference Between Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality?

05/01/2017

More and more of our Health, Safety and Wellbeing Guides are being released with Augmented Reality capabilities, to enhance engagement and provide access to further industry resources. But what exactly is Augmented Reality, and how does it compare to Virtual Reality?

“With the explosion of interest in Virtual Entertainment over the past couple of years, there’s been a lot of different names thrown around for different experience types. Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, Augmented Reality, Extended Reality, you name it; The technology is so new that most people have a hard time defining the differences between each of them.”

New Technology: “Gotta catch them all”

07/12/2016

Pokemon Go – New AR Game

As the craze of “gotta catch them all” sweeps the nation, have you stopped to wonder what this technology is? Overlaying virtual images in real space, using your smart device? It’s Augmented Reality and if you have downloaded the Pokémon Go™ app in an attempt to ‘collect your pets’, then there’s every likelihood that a friend, family member or that person sitting next to you on the train or bus has, and they’re attempting to “catch them all” right now. The game is a foot!

My social media news feeds are littered with comments about how it works, how adults alike are PokeGo zombies, and the memes (don’t get me started on the memes!), however it’s also being considered as an exercise booster, with more and more people commenting about having gone for more walks this last week.

Monday morning, and PokeGo continues, even from my six-seater position on the train, the guy opposite me is angling his phone towards the window and flicking his phone as the Pokémon appear through the duration of the Northern train line route, in Sydney. And then the three ladies down from us are discussing how it all works… What does it cost? Why play it? It’s almost inescapable!

Pokémon Go™ became the top grossing app in the iPhone app store just days after its Wednesday release in the US, Australia and New Zealand. Augmented Reality (AR) hasn’t seen as big a take up as it has in this last week, in my opinion, but businesses are adopting this new technology in many various ways. To educate, to inform, to interact with its audiences and end users.

Pro-Visual, for example, have been implementing AR across their diverse range of health and safety resource guides since July last year. And while it’s not a small critter appearing on your coffee table at night, it’s an avenue to further safety and health legislation, products, tips and advice.

Safety, while working, is important, and already this year, Safe Work Australia estimates that as at 7 July, 81 people have died from work related incidents. That’s 81 too many. So get on board this AR train if you haven’t already, because it’s not only changing the face of how we receive and download information, but it’s making things more interactive and engaging.

Although, you may see more app zombies out there? Just a guess.
