Agile Software Development
For Your Business Needs.

To understand the potential that Virtual and Augmented reality possess we need to understand how both of these technologies function, and how they differ from one another. Virtual reality or VR creates an immersive environment that users can access through VR headsets. These environments provide users with a 360-degree world which they can interact with through headsets. There are many different uses for the VR world, most commonly used for gaming and entertainment, but it has been utilized in other industries such as medicine, education, real estate, and marketing.

Similarly, augmented reality or AR works by projecting graphics that the user can see through wearable tech such as AR glasses, but the most common way to access AR is through smartphones. AR much like VR allows for many opportunities in different spaces, like marketing, gaming, manufacturing and healthcare.

Understanding How Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Work

Firstly talking about Virtual reality, the way it functions is by using computer technology creating a simulated environment with which the users can interact. Users can move around freely, and interact with the environment in these digital worlds. Different software and hardware work together in unison allowing the VR worlds to function. The combination of hardware and software allows the virtual world to be displayed in front of the user’s eye. Sensors in the VR headsets and compatible controllers allow for tracking of the user’s movements which is then shown in the virtual world, if the user moves their right hand then in the VR world their right hand will move similarly because of the sensors in the controllers. Similarly, the software will generate an image of the user’s body part moving which they will be able to see. The software will also be responsible for generating the user’s surroundings, audio and other sensory inputs creating an extremely immersive experience.

Augmented reality is a little different in the way it works. It functions by utilizing sensors that allow it to analyze the surroundings of a user; leveraging the GPS, accelerometers, and gyroscopes that are present in devices allows AR applications to have an understanding of the user’s surroundings. AR will superimpose a digital image onto the physical world, which users will be able to see and interact with through their phones, or wearable devices such as AR goggles.

The Use of Virtual and Augmented Reality

There are a few different applications where both VR and AR can be utilized and help in certain industries. Some examples of the uses of AR are navigation, retail and online shopping, gaming, and healthcare. AR has also been utilized in different industries for training purposes. Augmented reality is being utilized by different industries mainly because it is something that is accessible fairly easily by the majority of people. To access AR one simply needs to have a smartphone and they will be able to access whatever is present in the AR world. The use of AR in industries like healthcare is present in the form of providing information or assistance to surgeons or physicians allowing them to make better decisions, or to carry out the procedure more accurately.

In terms of VR, there are many industries where the technology is being utilized such as the automotive industry, healthcare, tourism, real estate, and gaming. Taking the automotive industry as an example, VR allows for a digital version of a vehicle to be built, allowing engineers and designers to be able to tinker with their ideas and to make digital prototypes before actually building one.

Technology like VR and AR are extremely useful tools that can help organizations in different ways, it can help train employees, allow businesses to market their products, and help professionals in the healthcare industry. ILSA Interactive believes that innovative technology should be implemented into different projects, utilizing new technology in different ways looking to improve user experience.

Mobile applications refer to the applications which we use daily on our smartphones, tablets, and other portable digital devices. Similarly, the process of building these applications is known as mobile application development. Two main operating systems are catered to in terms of mobile application development, which are iOS and Android. Building applications for these two operating systems is not that simple, as many different devices use these operating systems. When developing either an Android app or an iOS app the mobile app developers need to make sure that the application will be supported on the majority of the devices that run these OS, if not all the devices.

How Is Mobile App Development Different

There is a fundamental difference between mobile app development, and web development is that mobile app developers look to make use of the native features that are present on smartphones and other devices, which is something that is not focused on when developing web applications. There are multiple features like GPS, Bluetooth, microphones, different display functions like the dynamic Island on the newer Apple phones, and the different flip and folding Android phones that are now present, all these differences in the mobile devices need to be taken into account when developing a mobile application. Further, sometimes there needs to be integration of other mobile apps as well such as Google Maps, and Apple Maps depending upon the nature of your application, often applications related to delivery services would require map integrations. This need to integrate different features and different applications is what makes mobile application development unique, and different from web development.

Furthermore, when carrying out application development for mobile devices, developers need to understand what they want to achieve with their application, and which features of different devices are they looking to leverage to make their application different from the competition.

Our Portfolio of Mobile Applications

ILSA Interactive has been a part of many different projects that have had both iOS apps and Android apps, where we utilized the different capabilities of both operating systems, along with the different innovative features of the devices themselves. Even within mobile applications, we have worked on many different verticals, such as fantasy sports, social networking, travel and health & fitness. This experience of working on different verticals has given us the necessary knowledge to be able to tackle anything within the realm of mobile app development. Our mobile app developers have been able to develop innovative applications such as Owlmi, Fansplace, and BevIQ.

OWLMI:

OWLMI is a social networking app that looks to change the way users think about social networking apps. The platform looks to bring users closer to celebrities and industry-leading professionals. OWLMI further allows its users to be able to learn from these individuals, creating an environment where knowledge is shared.

The Fan’s Place:

We have also recently had the opportunity to work on a project that looks to change the way fans enjoy fantasy sports. Fansplace is a revolutionary way to enjoy fantasy sports, a free-to-play sports predictor app rewarding fans for playing and making sports more enjoyable. With two unique ways to play which revolve around game predictions, it looks to bring new experiences for users changing the way fans watch sports.

BevIQ:

ILSA Interactive has also been involved in building applications that will cater to inventory management in the form of BevIQ. This is an inventory management software that will cater to the beverage industry specifically, the application is packed full of features that allow the users to increase the overall efficiency of their business.

In terms of developing mobile applications ILSA Interactive is well versed, our versatile experience of developing applications for both iOS and Android, along with being able to develop applications for various industries is what sets us apart from others in this space.

LawFlip is an innovative attorney networking app that has been molded to give attorneys the best possible way to network with one another. It looks to build an attorney-to-attorney referral network that allows them to give each other referrals and recommendations in a way that was previously never possible.
