XR Solutions That Improve Business Fields
XR Solutions That Improve Business Fields

In recent years, the extended reality is gradually becoming popular in different enterprises, including IKEA, BMW, Adidas, etc. In general, modern companies use three main types of XR: virtual, augmented, and mixed reality. 

VR allows a user to immerse themselves in a digital world using a headset. In augmented reality, you can place 3D objects into the physical world. And in mixed reality, there are more possibilities to interact with these objects both in real and virtual space. More detailed information about the difference between VR, AR, and MR you can read here.

Many enterprises which want to apply XR see some perspectives in these technologies. With extended reality, you can improve interaction with customers, provide a more  realistic presentation of an item online and create a safer and more effective working process. According to Statista, the XR B2C (business-to-customer) market size in 2022 is estimated at 25,2 USD billions. 

Industries That Are Affected by XR The Most

Mainly, the extended reality is mostly used in the following fields:

  • Retail;
  • Marketing;
  • Architecture;
  • Show business;
  • Healthcare;
  • Many other fields. 

Sell Your Products With XR

One of the most popular ways to sell items are virtual shops and AR apps that allow trying products before buying. According to statistics by PC Magazine and Statista, 61% of customers said they wanted to visualize their clothes before purchasing. Another 54% of respondents wanted to know how large purchases, like furniture, would look like before buying it. 

There are some fields, where extended reality can be applied in retail.

  • Virtual try-ons. Famous Ukrainian online cosmetic shop Notino designed its own smartphone app, where you can both buy an item and try on its digital version with  “virtual mirror” feature. Using selfie mode on a gadget camera, a user can find out how a shade of lipstick, blushes, eyeshadows, and other cosmetic products will look like.

Speaking about the use of VR by famous retail network. VR Furniture Visualizer by IKEA and XR Labs is the bright example of it. This exhibition is a part of physical shops, where every customer with VR headsets can design their own digital room. At the beginning, a user types in  their contacts, chooses room type and size, and starts customizing it, from walls to furniture and decorative items. VR Furniture Visualizer is available for North Africa and Middle East shops only.

  • Virtual shops. For example, the very first virtual shop was opened in Malaysia. VI-Mall Malaysia allows VR headset users to make virtual shopping in 150 shops, including large grocery store on the first floor. On the second floor, you can visit a digital cinema, where you can buy tickets and watch a movie in a cinema hall. On the third floor, you can see an event hall. A VR headset user can walk between the mall floors, using virtual stairs.

Attract New Customers With XR Marketing

Extended reality allows companies to encourage new and regular customers to their products and services with interesting and non-standard ways. In this case, you can not only create a recognizable brand mascot, but also make it interactive. It can draw attention of your clients and business partners during conferences and presentations.

IT company Wylog designed its own corporate robot-shaped AR mascot in a mobile app. To activate the robot, you should point the camera to the horizontal plane, where you can place the digital model. The robot can walk, jump, hide, and roll into a ball. There’s also a function to change the mascot’s color in the app.

Another way to apply XR in marketing is an interactive virtual advertisement. Adidas used VR experience to promote sports clothes and shoes collection TERREX. Here, in a VR headset user can climb the Delicatessen route and follow famous climbers Delaney Miller and Ben Rueck. The Delicatessen route on Corsica island is considered to be one of the hardest mountain route. With Punta du Corbi peak, the Delicatessen maximal height is almost 1400 meters above the sea. 

A different successful example of VR advertisement is Happy Goggles by McDonalds. It’s a virtual reality headset you can make from Happy Meal package. The goggles have a mobile ski game Slope Stars, released with the support from Sweden National Ski Team. This Happy Meal set had limited-time release in 14 Sweden restaurants.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Happy Meal in Sweden, McDonald’s Sweden has developed Happy Goggles. By re-folding the Happy Meal box, customers can create a pair of virtual-reality glasses which makes it possible to experience virtual reality with a smartphone”, McDonalds said in an official announcement.

XR Makes Building Projection More Comfortable

With the help of tools, provided by XR, you can simplify a building, room, and landscape designing. Also, extended reality gives architects a possibility to create a new project, considering the features of an area. And, with extended reality, you can fix serious issues in the early stages of a project.

Connec2 is a bright example of the virtual platform for architects. It extends a working space with virtual reality headset. In this platform, people interact with the help of digital avatars, that accurately recreate gestures and provide high-quality sound during speaking. Connec2 does not necessarily recreate a physical office. The virtual holodeck is both a place for workers to communicate and a space to thoroughly design a new architectural project.

In addition, there are some successful cases, when architects use augmented reality when they project new buildings. Therefore, with AR, you can consider the features of an area, where you want to build a house, and create more interesting and exciting presentations for colleagues and partners. DOF VR developed an AR app for making building projects and selling real estate. This app can show how a building would look both in the daytime and at night. You can also detach the digital model by layers, and develop and show every detail of the model. Using the gadget screen, the app gives the possibility to project 3D models on real estate magazine pages, on a 2D floor plan of the room, and other surfaces. In addition, using AR app, you can enter a digital version of a room with a smartphone or tablet screen.

Here you can read more about AR in architecture and design.

How To Promote Your Music and Reach Your Fans With XR

With extended reality, any singer or musician can provide an additional immersive experience for their performances and music videos. The more bright and memorable performance is, the more people will pay attention to an artist and their music. 


Katy Perry’s live performance on American Idol is considered to be one of the loudest cases of using extended reality in show business. While she was singing her song Daisies, you could get an impression Perry got into a colorful dimension with moving walls and floating flowers. During the TV broadcast, more than 7 million people saw her performance. On YouTube, Katy Perry’s live version of Daisies reached almost 3 million views.


The live show was created with the help of XR companies PRG Studios and Silent Partners Studio. According to the creators, all the digital elements showed up in real time and reacted to the movement of cameras and the singer herself on stage. The whole performance was filmed on a LED screen stage, interactive 3D projections were superimposed into.
“From a creative perspective, the actual look and feel of the piece was a deceptively difficult effect to achieve”, said JT Rooney of Silent Partners Studios. “The graphics’ solid flat colors and simple textures actually made it difficult to complete the illusion of making the physical LED [backdrops] disappear and magically combine with a virtual environment”. 

Some singers also organize special VR concerts for headset users. This technology is used by famous rapper Post Malone. His exclusive VR performance for Oculus headset users was called Post Malone’s Twelve Carat Toothache. A VR Experience was held on 15 July this year, as a part of his new album promo campaign. 

In addition, some modern pop singers want to support their own fans not with live performances only. For example, Ukrainian IT company Sensorama developed a mobile AR app for famous singer Tina Karol. With this app and smartphone, fans of the artist can sing and dance together with a digital version of their idol. 

Extended Reality Is A Key To Improve Healthcare

Extended reality also simplifies doctors’ work in private and government hospitals. With XR, you can make fast and effective injections (AR device AccuVein, for example), diagnose a patient, and even perform complex surgeries. 

In Brazil, Rio-de-Janeiro, doctors managed to separate three-year-old conjoined twins Bernardo and Arthur Lima with virtual reality. Few months before the surgery, the doctors trialed the techniques, using twins’ digital projections, based on CT and MRI scans. During the surgery, Brazilian specialists, in collaboration with colleagues from Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, worked in the same “virtual reality room”, using VR headsets for more than 27 hours.

In some ways, these operations are considered the hardest of our time, and to do it in virtual reality was just really man-on-Mars stuff”,  said doctor Noor ul Owase Jeelani

Using MR headsets Hololens, specialists can easily diagnose patients, perform surgeries, and teach medical students. Like, for example, they do in Cleveland Clinic.

“So, let’s say that we have a patient on the table, and we want to do some type of intervention. Using augmented reality, we can superimpose data onto that patient, see their CT scan or MRI”, said doctor Karl West, director of Medical Device Development  Department of the clinic. 

“And putting them all together in, integrating them to really come up with this virtual, three-dimensional see-through model”, said Frank Papay, the chairman of the clinic, and doctor of Dermatology and Plastic Surgery Department.

Also, virtual reality can be applied for the rehabilitation of patients, who survived stroke or serious injures. You can find out more about it here.

Extended reality has already found its place in many business fields, including architecture, marketing, healthcare, and retail.  Extended reality provides more possibilities for workers’ training, bringing the audience to your own product, and simplifying the working process while creating new architectural projects.

VR & MR Headsets: How to Choose the Right One for Your Product

Introduction Virtual and mixed reality headsets are not just cool toys to show off at parties, though they’re definitely good for that. They train surgeons without risking a single patient, build immersive classrooms without ever leaving home, and even help to design something with unparalleled precision. But choosing VR/MR headsets … It’s not as simple as picking what looks sleek or what catches your eye on the shelf. And we get it. The difference between a headset that’s wired, standalone, or capable of merging the real and digital worlds is confusing sometimes. But we’ll break it all down in a way that makes sense. Types of VR Headsets VR and MR headsets have different capabilities. However, choosing the perfect one is less about specs and more about how they fit your needs and what you want to achieve. Here’s the lineup… Wired Headsets Wired headsets like HTC Vive Pro and Oculus Rift S should be connected to a high-performance PC to deliver stunningly detailed visuals and incredibly accurate tracking. Expect razor-sharp visuals that make virtual grass look better than real grass and tracking so on-point, you’d swear it knows what you’re about to do before you do. Wired headsets are best for high-stakes environments like surgical training, designing complex structures, or running realistic simulations for industries like aerospace. However, you’ll need a powerful computer to even get started, and a cable does mean less freedom to move around. Standalone Headsets No strings attached. Literally. Standalone headsets like Oculus Quest Pro, Meta Quest 3, Pico Neo 4, and many more) are lightweight, self-contained, and wireless, so you can jump between work and play with no need for external hardware. They are perfect for on-the-go use, casual gaming, and quick training sessions. From portable training setups to spontaneous VR adventures at home, these headsets are flexible and always ready for action (and by “action”, we mostly mean Zoom calls in VR if we’re being honest). However, standalone headsets may not flex enough for detailed, high-performance applications like ultra-realistic design work or creating highly detailed environments. Mixed Reality (MR) Headsets Mixed reality headsets blur the line between physical and digital worlds. They don’t just whisk you to a virtual reality — they invite the virtual to come hang out in your real one. And this means holograms nested on your desk, live data charts floating in the air, and playing chess with a virtual opponent right at your dining room table. MR headsets like HoloLens 2 or Magic Leap 2 shine in hybrid learning environments, AR-powered training, and collaborative work requiring detailed, interactive visuals thanks to their advanced features like hand tracking and spacial awareness. MR headsets like HoloLens 2 or Magic Leap 2 shine in hybrid learning environments, AR-powered training, and collaborative work requiring detailed, interactive visuals thanks to their advanced features like hand tracking and spacial awareness. The question isn’t just in what these headsets can do. It’s in how they fit into your reality, your goals, and your imagination. Now, the only question left is… which type is best for your needs? Detailed Headset Comparisons It’s time for us to play matchmaker between you and the headsets that align with your goals and vision. No awkward small talk here, just straight-to-the-point profiles of the top contenders. HTC Vive Pro This is your choice if you demand nothing but the best. With a resolution of 2448 x 2448 pixels per eye, it delivers visuals so sharp and detailed that they bring virtual landscapes to life with stunning clarity. HTC Vive Pro comes with base-station tracking that practically reads your mind, and every movement you make in the real world reflects perfectly in the virtual one. But this kind of performance doesn’t come without requirements. Like any overachiever, it’s got high standards and requires some serious backup. You’ll need a PC beefy enough to bench press an Intel Core i7 and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070. High maintenance is also required, but it’s totally worth it. Best for: High-performance use cases like advanced simulations, surgical training, or projects that demand ultra-realistic visuals and tracking accuracy. Meta Quest 3 Unlilke the HTC Vive Pro, the Meta Quest 3 doesn’t require a tethered PV setup cling. This headset glides between VR and MR like a pro. One minute you’re battling in an entirely virtual world, and the next, you’re tossing virtual sticky notes onto your very real fridge. Meta Quest 3 doesn’t match the ultra-high resolution of the Vive Pro, but its display resolution reaches 2064 x 2208 pixels per eye — and this means sharp and clear visuals that are more than adequate for training sessions, casual games, and other applications. Best for: Portable classrooms, mobile training sessions, or casual VR activities. Magic Leap 2 The Magic Leap 2 sets itself apart not with flashy design, but with seamless hand and eye tracking that precisely follow your movements and the headset that feels like it knows you. This headset is the one you want when you’re blending digital overlays with your real-life interactions. 2048 x 1080 pixels per eye and the 70 degrees diagonal field of view come with a price tag that’s way loftier than its competitors. But remember that visionaries always play on their terms Best for: Interactive lessons, augmented reality showstoppers, or drawing attention at industry conventions with show-stopping demos. HTC Vive XR Elite The HTC Vive XR Elite doesn’t confine itself to one category. It’s built for users who expect both performance and portability in one device. 1920 x 1920 resolution per eye doesn’t make it quite as flashy as the overachiever above, but it makes up for it with adaptability. This headset switches from wired to wireless within moments and keeps up with how you want to work or create. Best for: Flexible setups, easily transitioning between wired and wireless experiences, and managing dynamic workflows. Oculus Quest Pro The Oculus Quest Pro is a devices that lets its capabilities speak for themselves. Its smooth and reliable performance,…

Gamescom 2024: The Future of Gaming is Here, and It’s Bigger Than Ever

This year’s Gamescom 2024 in Cologne, Germany, provided proof of the gaming industry’s astounding growth. Our team was thrilled to have a chance to attend this event, which showcased the latest in gaming and gave us a glimpse into the future of the industry. Gamescom 2024 was a record-breaking conference, with over 335,000 guests from about 120 nations, making it one of the world’s largest and most international gaming gatherings. This year’s showcase had a considerable rise in attendance — nearly 15,000 people over the previous year. Gamescom 2024 introduced new hardware advances used for the next generation of video games. Improvements in CPUs and video cards, particularly from big companies in the industry like AMD and NVIDIA, are pushing the boundaries of what is feasible for games in terms of performance and graphics. For example, NVIDIA introduced the forthcoming GeForce RTX series, which promises unprecedented levels of immersion and realism. Not to be outdone, AMD has introduced a new series of Ryzen processors designed to survive the most extreme gaming settings. These technological advancements are critical as they allow video game developers to create more complex and visually stunning games, particularly for virtual reality. As processing power increases, virtual reality is reaching new heights. We saw numerous VR-capable games at Gamescom that offer players an unparalleled level of immersion. Being a VR/AR development company, we were excited to watch how technology was evolving and what new possibilities it was bringing up. The video game called “Half-Life: Alyx” has set a new standard, and it’s clear that VR is no longer a niche but a growing segment of the gaming market. Gamescom’s format proved its strength, as indicated by the fact that its two days were run in two formats. Gamescom stands out from other games exhibitions or conventions by being both a business and consumer show. This dual format enables the developers to collect feedback on their products immediately. This is especially so when meeting prospective clients during a presentation or when giving a demonstration to gamers, the response elicited is very helpful. Rarely does anyone get a chance to witness the actual implementation and real-world effect of what they have done.
