Augmented Reality

Sentient is using headsets and mobile devices to develop engaging and interactive training experiences using augmented reality software (AR) for a variety of applications across industry sectors in Australia and beyond.
Utilise the infinite canvas of AR to blend digital information and holographic animations with real-world objects, enhancing current workflows and guiding the user through complex tasks. This capability is also valuable when it comes to using augmented reality in building and infrastructure projects.
Review, plan and interact with 3D content in real-time by connecting multiple users from any location on different devices through the power of augmented reality.
As one of the leading augmented reality companies in the region, Sentient can produce AR experiences for many different devices, including the HoloLens 2, NReal, and Android and iOS devices. We can also utilise Virtual Reality and PC platforms for shared learning experiences, offering comprehensive interactive training solutions. Sentient’s proficiency in augmented reality development ensures a tailored solution to meet your specific needs.
View some of our current augmented reality experiences below, or hear from one of our developers about Augmented Reality ‘Inside the Engine Room’ in this video.
Training and Assessment
  • Directly interact with model elements using both hands.
  • Interactive panel instructions and elements highlighted in the scene as the steps progress.
Equipment Familiarisation
  • Toggle an exploded view of equipment components.
  • Remove individual elements, review and return them to the original position by snapping them into place.
Tabletop Planning
  • Place structures, vehicles and equipment in the scene at the same time.
  • Position and rotate objects as required.
  • Simulate construction/mining activities.
  • Connect multiple users – all participants can view and interact using HoloLens 2, Android or iOS devices.
Spatial Awareness
  • Place vehicles and equipment on site at their actual size.
  • Manipulate virtual objects and walk around them to inspect possible collisions with adjacent structures.
  • Connect multiple users to assess potential problems and find solutions in real time.
MR HT
  • Use QR Codes or spatial anchors to view content ‘anchored’ at equipment or locations, such as:
  • Manufacturer/operation specifications;
  • Holographic animations explaining assembly workflows;
  • Real time sensor data.
Mobile Apps
  • Sentient Augmented Reality experiences are cross-platform – any apps developed for the HoloLens 2 can also be deployed to Android and/or iOS mobile devices.
  • Multi-user experiences can be shared between HoloLens headsets and mobile devices so all participants can view and interact with the same content.
Model Viewer Test
Web AR makes augmented reality accessible to everyone by launching immersive experiences directly in a mobile web browser - meaning there is no requirement to download an app.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is AR training?

AR training overlays digital information—such as images, instructions, or simulations—onto the real world. This approach provides hands-on practice, improves learning retention, and enhances decision-making by visualising complex processes or scenarios in real-time.

What is Augmented Reality used for?

AR has many different uses. The majority of our clients use it to plan operations on mine sites and for other infrastructure.

How much does AR Training Cost?

The cost is dependent on the size of the project, and what you would like to convert into AR. Contact our team to discuss options today.

What types of training can be done in AR?

AR can enhance training across various applications, including:

Technical Skills: By overlaying step-by-step instructions or diagrams onto machinery and equipment, AR helps trainees learn to operate, repair, and assemble complex systems more effectively.
Healthcare: AR enables practitioners to practice procedures such as surgeries and patient assessments in a controlled, augmented environment, improving proficiency and confidence.
Soft Skills Development: Interacting with virtual characters in real-world settings through AR technology enhances communication and interpersonal skills.

What hardware and software do I need for AR training?

AR training can be accessed on smartphones and tablets that are compatible with ARCore (Android) or ARKit (iOS), as well as on AR headsets like Microsoft HoloLens or Magic Leap.
