Modern technology has been going through disruptive changes over the years. Adaptive augmented reality mixed in virtual reality can help to create a number of prototypes that allow you to have a clear vision of your project. Nowadays, you can search for any animal over the internet and can have a 3D rendered model of that animal right in your living room interacting with you through your smartphones.
Augmented reality and virtual reality are on the verge of emerging as mainstream technologies that will sustain an enduring impact. Digital Artflow, a company that develops creative prototype with these immersive technologies, provides a more direct experience by enabling to walk, fly and interact with their prototypes, either in an AR or VR environment.
Below are the highlights of the interview conducted between Digital Artflow and Insights Success:
What led to the inception of the company?
Initially, we started as a small group of freelancers and started with various web development projects. Later, we started developing visual applications for sales and customer engagement. We expanded our portfolio and began to specialize in 2D and 3D applications, slowly building a path towards product and service simulation applications, like visual product configurators, floor planning solutions and integration with various standardized platforms. In 2009, we decided to start the company and then later offering development services for VR/AR applications.
Describe your company and its cutting-edge VR/AR services which address all the needs of your customers.
Currently, Digital Artflow has a few pre-built software solutions like Simplio3D (online product configurator) and InnoPlanner (floor planning system) that support both VR and AR to meet client necessities. Initially, we started utilizing Virtual Reality technology when customers requested an extension to their already implemented 3D product configurators using our prebuilt solutions. Customers wanted to offer their potential customers an immersive product experience using VR headsets. Therefore, most of our VR services are found in the development of ways to enable web applications to support VR when needed directly from an internet browser without the need for native apps. We also work with AR terminals, where we offer the possibility of web applications to track 3D products in real space, like furniture, jewelry, and clothing. In the last 2 years, we started to develop native applications for Virtual Reality using Unity for a few customers.
Could you throw some light on your mission and vision statement?
Digital Artflow continues offering a compelling visual application for all industries and based on our experience we want to offer the best solutions using cutting-edge technology. We aim to transform the CPQ industry by introducing and integrating VR/AR technology with the known ERP/eCommerce platforms. Simultaneously, we want to preserve and grow our team values, culture, and ethics. These are the key to consolidate long-term healthy and productive relationships both internally and externally reflecting the universal trustworthy level of our agency.
