Anwis’ AR application offers a possibility, previously unavailable without advanced graphic processing, which visualizes products directly in a place of destination.
A client can position blinds in real time, in the space of their own room, getting a precise visualization of how the product will look like in the window.
To make it possible, the user has to go through two steps: positioning and preview.
Positioning mode includes possibilities of:
In the preview mode, a user can:
An interesting technical novelty and an engineering task was implementation of scaling functionality and simulation of a blind’s model.
Scaling functionality is problematic as while scaling, you need to keep the proportion of lamellas, cases, bars, tapes, strings, and you cannot ”extend” such a model because of aesthetics and the need of proper coping of a particular blind model. It also concerns ”materials” which the blind is made of, after scaling its width, even up to 3,6 meters, the wood does not seem to be stretched. Same situation is with horizontal scaling of stripes/strings. The texture of the material is maintained the same way and copies the original version properly. The number of stripes grows dynamically, depending on a simulated width and it’s copied according to the Anwis’ specification.
Another complex challenge was adjusting the model so that it could enable copying the blind as precisely as possible during simulation of rolling up/down and opening/shutting.
Rolling a blind up/down – it was important for us to simulate ”gathering” of each lamella individually by a bottom bar while rolling up, so that the product’s action was copied in details. We managed to do that by calculating the position of each lamella (board) separately, depending on a current level of being rolled up.
Opening/shutting was, in turn, connected with calculating rotation angle of each lamella and bottom bar, as well as with calculating stripes’ ”adherence” to lamellas so that their real behavior was copied precisely.
Achieving this level of precision and a copy of Anwis’ blinds’ model was possible because of ”cutting” the model into particular pieces, whose position, rotation and scale were calculated during each transformation by the software which dynamically refreshed the target model being under construction.
Dynamic construction of the model was also used in case of simulating rolling up/down and opening/shutting of a blind. It required devising a special algorithm for this type of product, however, the final result really impresses and copies Anwis’ blinds.
Augmented Reality has helped the manufacturing industry in numerous ways. One of the significant benefits is that it allows workers to visualize and interact with digital models of products and processes in real time. This helps in identifying errors and potential issues in the production process, which can be corrected before they lead to wastage of resources.
The new opportunities associated with Industry 4.0 require companies to adapt to the new environment. In this article, we take a closer look at the current situation in the automotive industry, discuss the challenges it faces and the opportunities offered by digital transformation.
Modern technologies are starting to affect literally every industry. Even though most activities related to Augmented Reality (AR) are in their infancy when it comes to industry, we know from our own experience that the first implementations are the most important ones. These very implementations make a lot more people aware of the benefits of using AR. This applies to the logistics industry as well, even though it might seem to be much less industrial. In practice, just like other industries, it focuses on quality and efficiency.
Modern technology is constantly changing, with newer and newer products, which develop services and the effectiveness of specialists' work coming out constantly. Since recently we have had the opportunity to work with the new AR headset – Magic Leap. These advanced glasses, presented in 2018, allow users to utilise AR technology in a completely new way, thus becoming a strong competitor to other AR glasses.
Are you wondering how to enhance most of the processes in your company? How to eliminate production downtime, reduce the distance between your company and the professional you urgently need? How to lower the current costs? Together with RealWear HMT-1 we are coming to the rescue!
More and more entrepreneurs from different industrial sectors realize benefits which Augmented Reality technology can offer them. Augmented Reality supports efficiency of processes, for instance by eliminating production downtime. It enables quick identification of problems and resuming work continuity, and as a result, reduces current expenses.
Attracting user attention in a world that constantly provides new stimuli is becoming more difficult, but not impossible. Modern technologies which marketers are trying to efficiently use and with their help to achieve previously defined goals are coming to the rescue. One of the solutions that constantly shock both users and the people themselves who […]

Integration of intelligent machines and software, evolution of human’s role and their work in industry, automation and digitalization of different activities – those are, much simplified, in the focus of Industry 4.0. One thing is sure: wide-reaching industrial revolution is inevitable and although the implementation processes are more advanced in the West than in Poland, […]
Medium and large companies more and more often realise that work effectiveness of their specialists highly depends on the tools which they use on a daily basis. But what if we could not only improve the quality of their work but also their safety, and minimize company’s current expenses? Most common problems for companies […]
In fact, 4.0 Industry is based on communication which has to be quick, accessible and unambiguous. Then, the received message makes decision-making process easy and safe.

A person in need will find a way. As it turns out sometimes even the most advanced solutions need a “lightweight” version. We can safely assume this is the case of Assisted Reality, which delivers 2D content (images, text or videos) to users instead of immersive 3D graphics. This simpler solution, however, is exactly what […]
In 1984, James Cameron’s “Terminator” hit the screens, keeping millions or billions of viewers on the edge of their seats. At that moment, it became obvious that science fiction films would never be the same. However, the impact of the filmmaking did not only extend to films and entertainment. It also led to a breakthrough […]
