Put Training Guidance Where the Task Happens
Use augmented reality to place instructions, equipment information and interactive learning over real tools, assets and work environments through a mobile device.
Training Uses for AR
Equipment Familiarisation
Point the device at an asset or training rig to identify components, controls, access points and safety features in their actual location.
Step-by-Step Procedure Guidance
Present the next approved action, reference image, animation or check as the learner moves through a procedure.
Assembly and Maintenance Learning
Overlay component order, orientation, tool information and inspection points during supervised practice or on a non-live training asset.
Hazard and Control Recognition
Ask learners to inspect a real or staged environment, identify hazards and open guidance about the relevant control.
Remote Expert and Support Content
Connect the user with annotated visual instructions, captured evidence or a remote-support workflow where the system and security requirements allow it.

AR Training Functions
DELIVERY MODES
AR Training, Performance Support or Both?
A defined module introduces the task, guides practice and tests understanding. Completion and responses can be recorded as part of a broader learning program.
Short, task-specific guidance is available at the point of need after formal training. It can reduce the time spent searching through manuals, but it must not encourage unqualified people to perform restricted work.
Use the same environment to explain a modified component, updated sequence or new control before the worker performs the revised task.
DECISION GUIDE
Choosing Between AR and VR
AR is usually stronger when the learner needs to see and interact with a real asset. VR is stronger when the environment is hazardous, unavailable or needs to be controlled completely. Some programs use both: VR for safe scenario practice, then AR for guided work on the physical equipment.
Safety and Human-Factors Considerations
An AR app must never compete with situational awareness. The learner may be holding a device, wearing smart glasses or focusing on an overlay while hazards continue around them. Appropriate use areas, interaction length, device handling, stop conditions and supervision must be defined with the client.
OUR PROCESS
Development Process
Virtual placement is good for understanding approximate size and appearance, but it does not guarantee fit. Virtual try-on quality depends on the product category, tracking method and device. Colour and material appearance varies between screens and lighting conditions.
Select the task and learner
Identify the point where contextual guidance adds genuine value over existing methods.
Review procedure and equipment
Assess formal competency requirements and approved procedures before any AR content is developed.
Choose recognition and delivery
Select the trigger method suited to the real environment and device.
Prototype on device and asset
Test on the real equipment in real lighting conditions before producing the full content set.
Create overlays and interactions
3D overlays, guidance steps, media and assessment interactions built and integrated.
Validate with experts and users
Subject-matter experts and representative users test for accuracy, safety and usability.
Deploy with governance processes
Device, user, reporting and content-governance processes established before go-live.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AR training app?
It is a mobile or wearable application that places digital instructions, labels, 3D content or interactions into the learner’s view of the real environment.
How is AR training different from VR training?
AR keeps the real environment visible and adds guidance to it. VR replaces the environment with a simulation, making it more suitable for hazardous, unavailable or fully controlled scenarios.
Can AR recognise our equipment?
Yes, using markers, images, QR codes or other tracking methods. Direct object recognition may be possible but requires testing with the actual asset, lighting and viewing conditions.
Can it guide workers through a live task?
Potentially, but only where the activity is safe for device use and the worker is authorised and competent. AR guidance does not remove the need for approved procedures, isolation, supervision or formal competency.
Can completion be recorded?
Yes. Steps, responses, evidence and completion status can be captured and connected to an LMS or other system where suitable integration is available.
Can it run on smart glasses?
Possibly. Smart-glass capability, comfort, battery life, field of view, PPE compatibility and enterprise support vary significantly and need device-specific testing.
How are procedure updates managed?
The app should connect each module to an approved content owner, version and review process so superseded instructions are not left in use.
