McDowell believes that AR glasses will have a much bigger impact on a human and the community than smartphones, PC, or the internet. He thinks smart glasses can transform the human brain-physical world interaction and reduce the time of searching the information on the spot.

In every podcast issue, the host interviews company representatives that develop smart glasses and other AR-related technologies. They discuss various implementations of augmented reality in education, sport, healthcare, etc.

In addition, AR Insider and Upload VR are included in the list of online media we recommend reading.

Happy Programmer’s Day from Qualium Systems

September 13 is Programmer’s Day, the 256th day of the year. The number isn’t random. 256 is how many values fit into one byte, and it’s the largest power of two that still falls within a calendar year. Today the date is marked by teams all over the world. Users see the finished product. Getting there takes a lot of work that never shows up on screen. Someone spends an afternoon writing a migration script so the database can move without downtime. Someone builds tests that catch a regression six months later, before it reaches production. Someone reviews a pull request carefully enough to catch the one line that could have broken checkout on mobile. This is the work that keeps products running. Without it, Qualium Systems wouldn’t exist. Why this holiday is ours For us this is a holiday about our own people. Every project in our portfolio exists because our developers built it. The case studies on this site describe results, but the results came from people writing code, arguing about architecture in review, and staying with a release until it was actually working. Our engineers work across web and mobile development, QA, and custom software for clients in different industries. What connects those projects is the team that takes a client’s problem, breaks it into something solvable, and ships it. We’re grateful to work with people who do that well, and to partners who bring us challenges worth solving. Happy Programmer’s Day!

Our Whitepaper Release on Virtual Showrooms and Immersive Machinery Sales

We have released Scaling Machinery Sales with Product Twins: Solutions for Digital 3D Presentations. This new release provides insights into how manufacturers of heavy and complex equipment use Virtual Showrooms, VR/AR and Web3D across three sales scenarios: sales presentations, trade fairs, and inbound lead generation. We put the paper together because of a problem anyone selling heavy equipment knows well. A machine has to be shipped, assembled and taken apart again for every trade fair, and when a client wants to see one, the team flies out instead. A buyer on another continent may never see the machine at all. These costs are rarely added up in one place, so we did it. We went through pricing from several European fairs, transport and assembly quotes, travel budgets for demo trips, and what a demo machine costs its owner over five years, then put the same scenarios through an immersive setup and priced those too: headsets, app development, a smaller stand. At a big fair, transport and assembly alone cost several times more than the stand itself, roughly €300K against €40K. That entire line disappears when the machine travels as a 3D model. We’ve also been building our own Virtual Showroom demo. You can walk around a machine at full scale, see through its covers while it runs, switch configurations, and move between products in the catalog without leaving the session. It’s nearly finished and we’ll start showing it to clients soon. For early access to the demo or a conversation about your product line: Vlad Beleckyi, CSO — vbeleckyi@qualium-systems.com

Scaling Machinery Sales with Product Twins: Solutions for Digital 3D Presentations

B2B machinery buying has changed, driven by a new generation of digital-first stakeholders (Millennials and Gen Z now represent 71% of B2B buyers). They reach out with expectations already formed, alternatives compared, and, in most cases, a preferred supplier identified. For manufacturers of large, complex equipment, that leaves a narrow window to influence the decision, and static PDFs, renders and videos rarely fill it. The fix starts with something most manufacturers already have. If you hold a 3D model of your equipment, it can become an interactive presentation asset: shown at full scale in VR, explored in a browser, or configured live on a tablet in a meeting. Up to 85% lower cost per event Our new whitepaper compares traditional sales methods (trade shows, physical demos, and international product presentations) with a VR-based approach and puts concrete numbers on the difference: Trade show presence: ~€340K → €30–50K per event. A year of international demos: ~€200K → €40K. Three scenarios, one model The whitepaper also breaks down three places an immersive 3D model does the work, each with its own logic: Sales presentations: Guide a prospect through a full-scale, interactive machine. Trade fairs: Show the whole catalog from a 50 m² booth instead of shipping one or two machines to a 200 m² stand. Inbound lead generation: Let buyers explore the machine in the browser before they fill out a form. It also includes real deployments from construction, mining, elevator, and heat transfer manufacturers, plus the buyer-behavior data behind the shift to digital-first sales. If you sell equipment that is expensive to ship, hard to demo, or still on the roadmap, this is the case for turning your CAD data into a sales asset. Read the full whitepaper
