FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We’ve shared some of our frequently asked questions.

  • What are the benefits of Immersive Technologies?

    Immersive technologies improve performance across industries. For example, immersive training experiences boost attention by 150% and retention by over 400%. AR work instructions enhance worker efficiency by more than 200%. In warehouses, AR shortens order turnaround time by over 20%. Remote assistance enables service teams to resolve issues up to 10 times faster. When paired with IoT, AR increases data understanding and utilization by more than 50%. Furthermore, AR/VR significantly improves training in hazardous environments by offering realistic simulations that traditional methods cannot provide.

  • Are immersive technologies only for used for training?

    No, immersive technologies serve a wide range of applications. AR, for instance, helps users navigate in real time through factories, supermarkets, or cities. It provides instant information about products, places, and services. In the FMCG sector, companies use immersive tech to enhance customer engagement. Automotive businesses leverage VR for virtual showrooms to display new products. Additionally, AR supports warehouse operations, digital twin development, design reviews, and inspection tasks. These technologies even simulate dangerous environments for safer understanding and testing. The evolving Metaverse is also changing how people interact in retail and social spaces.

  • Is it very expensive to adopt immersive technologies?

    No, adopting immersive technology is cost-effective. Most AR experiences run on standard smartphones, which means there's usually no need for additional hardware. VR headsets have become affordable—many are priced below premium smartphones. Organizations simply need the intent to innovate. Innovate Labs helps clients identify suitable use cases and technologies to begin their immersive journey without overwhelming investment.

  • Can I create my own immersive experiences or I need to get them developed?

    Yes, with today’s tools, creating AR/VR experiences is accessible. Some platforms do require basic coding skills. However, many user-friendly options allow quick deployment without technical expertise. Alternatively, partnering with a provider like Innovate Labs ensures expert support in selecting, developing, and hosting custom immersive solutions.

  • Why my phone is not able to use AR apps?

    Several factors can affect AR functionality. First, check if the app has permission to access your camera. If not, AR features won’t work. Also, confirm whether your device supports AR. Android users can check compatibility [here], while iOS users can check [here]. If the issue remains unresolved, consult your device manufacturer or enable AR settings in your phone.

  • How soon can I expect returns on my investments in immersive technologies?

    The return on investment depends on the use case. In many cases, AR/VR delivers fast results—especially for remote support, training, product launches, and real-time guidance. Some industries have reported over 80% time savings, with ROI achieved in less than three months. In scenarios like remote assistance for critical repairs, returns are nearly instant. Connect with Innovate Labs to assess your specific goals and estimate your ROI timeline.

  • Is my data and IP safe? Where will my data be located for immersive experience?

    Yes. Organizations can securely store immersive data and intellectual property either on-premise or in secure cloud environments such as Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, or AWS. Advanced security protocols and authentication features protect against unauthorized access, just like any modern digital system.

  • Do I need 3D assets/CAD data for everything before developing AR/VR experience?

    Not always. AR experiences can often be created by scanning physical objects or using digital assets like charts, icons, and text. For VR, which takes place in fully virtual environments, 3D assets or CAD files are typically required. These can be developed efficiently using current software tools and techniques.

  • Can I get realistic, “true to life” experience in immersive experience, or it will be a “game like” experience?

    Immersive experiences can closely resemble real-life environments. Developers can apply high-quality textures, lighting, materials, and reflections. In industries such as automotive, virtual models must reflect precise colors, finishes, and details. With enough resources and time, developers can create virtual environments that feel almost indistinguishable from reality.

  • Do I need to change my current process/people to use immersive technology in my organization?

    No. Immersive technologies integrate seamlessly with existing workflows. Their interfaces are intuitive, making them easy for staff to use—much like using a smartphone. Your team can adopt immersive tools quickly without needing extensive training or structural changes.

  • Can I outsource my complete digital immersive experience deployment to Innovate Labs?

    Yes. Innovate Labs provides complete support for immersive technology adoption. We assist with use case identification, hardware and software procurement, and deployment. Our team also offers training and ongoing support to ensure your team gains maximum value from immersive tools.
