Augmented Reality...I Have Enough Problems with Reality: How Technology Can Transform How We Manage and Maintain our Assets
With the world of social housing turned upside down due to Covid-19, we all wondered how we would continue to deliver property and people services in a new reality where human contact needed to be kept to a minimum.
Many housing organisations turned to technology, with some brave souls venturing into the world of augmented reality or AR to support tenants and staff.
This session will talk about what AR is, how these housing associations have used it effectively and how it can be used in the future. This technology presents exciting opportunities for social landlords and, best of all, you don’t need to be a techie to understand it – or, more importantly, to use it!
This webinar is free.
