Download our NEW Augmented Reality app

Published: 15-08-2018

We have now launched a first-of-its-kind app for the heating sector which will allow you to promote Worcester boilers to your customers via augmented reality (AR).

The app will allow you and your customers to visualise Worcester products in-situ, by showing a computer-generated boiler model in real-time at a customer’s property.

The free to download AR app is currently compatible with the Greenstar CDI Classic, Ri, i, and Compact boiler ranges. Using an A4 image as a marker for the product, simply place the marker onto a wall or surface via a static stick. You can then choose the type of boiler they’d like to view and scan the marker through the app for the boiler to appear on the tablet, in-situ.

While the 3D representation of the boiler is presented in front of a customer, you can take the case off at the push of a button and explore individual components in more detail. What’s more, you can move around the boiler while the marker is still within the app’s frame to give customers a true reflection of its dimensions.

The computer-generated boiler model can be seen in real-time in a specific location via the app’s ‘life size view’ option, allowing you to view the boiler on a table or a worktop with your customer. Not only that, when selecting ‘features view’, you will be presented with a series of ‘hotspots’ which contain features and benefits of that particular product.

For ultimate convenience, the app is able to work without an internet connection and makes it simple for a screenshot of the boiler in-situ to be sent to the customer.

The  app is now available to download for free via the App Store and on Google Play.
