Media release
Melbourne – dateline-immediate, Global Augmented and Virtual Reality giant EON Reality Australia has joined forces with Australian strategic advisory firm Accuteque in providing Australian businesses with a first-time opportunity to increase profitability through leading-edge Augmented(AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technology.
The rapid expansion of Augmented and Virtual Reality (AVR) offers applications in a vast range of industries, including health, education, sport, construction, property development, energy, medical, manufacturing, infrastructure, aerospace and defence.
Globally, AVR technology is increasingly used in areas other than gaming. SATS Ltd at Singapore’s Changi Airport uses AR to improve the efficiency and safety of their ground handling services for airlines, passengers and airfreight shippers. In the field of medicine, studies show VR training has improved the performance of surgeons. In the UK the technology is increasingly used as a way of marketing property.
Accuteque’s partnership with the Australian arm of the California based multinational EON Reality will provide the Australian and New Zealand markets with innovative business solutions that roll technology, advisory, delivery and implementation into one package.
Businesses are keenly aware that employees with access to real-time contextual information displayed when and where they need it are set to transform the workplace by dramatically improving efficiency, productivity, safety and engagement.
The interest and commitment to the technology is abundantly clear with the partnership already showing results with work commenced in the Education, Local Governments, Membership Organisations and Construction sectors, with organisations in Allied Health to shortly follow.
EON & Accuteque are exploring with the education sector be that primary through to tertiary or via professional development, ways of delivering AVR into the STEM/STEAM pathways for their students. With primary schools now teaching coding and many secondary schools creating innovation centres where their students can actively engage with new technologies. EON and Accuteque are positioning themselves to be the provider of choice in these markets, working with a number of “foundation” partners in this sector.
Additionally, the professional development sector is also looking for new and innovative ways to engage its practitioners and students. The introduction of AVR into these environments has the potential to increase capability with more realistic educational scenarios, particularly for anything that is currently expensive to replicate and/or dangerous. From the health sector to construction, AVR stands to improve online education completion rates and engagement through fully.
A recent client, Cengage, an educational content provider confirms this, “Cengage is always looking at emerging technologies to give our customers more ways to interact with our content to enhance the teaching and learning experience. We are excited about engaging with EON Reality and Accuteque to deliver more meaningful outcomes using VR & AR mediums.” – Nigel Matai, Head of Production, Cengage Australia
We are also looking closely at the Primary and Secondary Education sectors, to understand better how we bring this technology into the everyday classroom. Innovative Principals like Neven Paleka of South Yarra Primary is already looking into what the opportunities might be, along with the CEO of Australian Physiotherapy Association Cris Massis. Both leaders see the potential and have engaged the Accuteque and EON teams in this discussion.
“We’re all familiar with the use of AVR in the world of gaming. But the benefits that these technologies offer other industries are yet to be fully embraced in the Australasian region, but the interest is there and it’s growing every day.” says Ms Norton, a recent finalist in the Telstra Business Women’s Awards who has a keen eye on developing and fast-moving technologies.
“Further to this, the relationship we have with the EON Reality Australia team is fantastic, not only is it a great cultural fit for the organisations, it’s unbelievably collegial, with both teams working together on a daily basis to be an extension of each other and drive each-others offering.”
“We at EON are confident that our partnership with Accuteque will accelerate the paradigm shift in business to utilise and realise the potential of AVR technology in their day to day offerings to clients. With EON’s class leading technology and Accuteque’s wealth of business knowledge, the partnership will be able to deliver great offerings together. At EON, our philosophy is tied to the belief that knowledge is a human right and should be available, accessible and affordable for every human on the planet. Together following this philosophy our team has the passion, skills and knowledge to work with our clients to put them at the leading edge of business change, now and into the future,” says Mr Galbally, Chairman EON Reality Australia
“The Australian business landscape is changing. While historically risk-averse, more local organisations are looking towards innovation to disrupt from within. EON & Accuteque have a targeted, agile engagement model that delivers business outcomes earlier. In addition to delivering AVR technology solutions, we are empowering their teams with innovative tools they can use in other areas of their business. We’re excited to keep working closely with Natasha and her team to become the trusted guide in AVR consulting across Australia & New Zealand.” says Stuart Dalrymple, Operations Manager EON Reality Australia.
