It can support training, education, games, walkthroughs, collaboration and product demonstrations." }, { "question": "What is the difference between VR, MR and XR?", "answer": "VR places the user inside a fully digital environment. Mixed reality combines spatial digital objects with the physical environment. XR is the broader term covering AR, VR and MR experiences." }, { "question": "Which VR headsets can you develop for?", "answer": "Projects can target Meta Quest and other OpenXR-compatible headsets. Device choice is based on audience, interaction requirements, visual quality, deployment environment and budget." }, { "question": "Can people experience the content without a VR headset?", "answer": "A fully immersive VR experience normally requires a headset. When broader access is important, the same concept may be supported with a 360-degree web tour, desktop 3D viewer or WebXR-compatible fallback." }, { "question": "Can a VR training product record results?", "answer": "Yes. A training system can record completion, time, decisions, mistakes, retries, interaction events and assessment scores, then send results to a dashboard or learning platform through an API." }, { "question": "How long does a VR project take?", "answer": "A focused walkthrough is quicker than a simulator with custom environments, physics, avatars, analytics and multi-device testing. Timeline is estimated from asset complexity, interaction depth, hardware and deployment requirements." }, { "question": "What is an AR filter?", "answer": "An AR filter uses a camera and real-time tracking to place branded effects, animation, makeup, accessories or interactive content around a face, body, product or environment." }, { "question": "Can you build virtual try-on experiences?", "answer": "Yes. Depending on the platform, filters can support face accessories, cosmetics, eyewear, headwear and other products using tracked placement and real-time visual feedback." }, { "question": "Which platforms can AR filters run on?", "answer": "Platform choice depends on the campaign and current publishing tools. Filters may be developed for supported social platforms or as browser-based branded experiences when greater ownership and direct access are required." }, { "question": "Can an AR filter include interaction and animation?", "answer": "Yes. Filters can react to facial expressions, taps, gestures, movement or timed events and can include 2D effects, optimized 3D assets, particles, audio and animation." }, { "question": "What assets are needed to start an AR filter?", "answer": "Useful inputs include brand guidelines, campaign goals, reference visuals, product files, required calls to action and target platform details. Missing 2D or 3D production assets can be included in scope." }, { "question": "What is location-based augmented reality?", "answer": "Location-based AR uses GPS, maps, compass data, geofencing or visual positioning to reveal digital content and interactions at meaningful physical locations." }, { "question": "What can location AR be used for?", "answer": "Common uses include tourism, guided trails, treasure hunts, cultural storytelling, education, retail journeys, events, navigation and location-based games." }, { "question": "How accurate is GPS-based AR?", "answer": "Accuracy varies with device quality, buildings, weather, satellite visibility and network conditions. Good experiences use sensible activation zones, clear guidance and fallback states instead of relying on a single exact coordinate." }, { "question": "Can a location experience work with limited connectivity?", "answer": "Selected assets and location data can be cached for limited-connectivity scenarios. The offline approach depends on map licensing, content size, authentication and which features require a live server." }, { "question": "Can progress and visited locations be saved?", "answer": "Yes. Checkpoints, rewards, collected content, user progress and analytics can be stored locally or synchronized through a secure backend." }, { "question": "What is computer vision?", "answer": "Computer vision enables software to interpret camera images or video by detecting, classifying, tracking or measuring visual information." }, { "question": "Which computer-vision features can you integrate?", "answer": "Capabilities can include object detection, image classification, pose or hand tracking, segmentation, OCR, visual measurement and custom camera-based workflows.
