With more than 100 years of success and industry-leading innovation, Michigan-based Dow is a global leader in specialty chemicals, advanced materials and plastics. From bottles to boxes, Dow provides a world-class portfolio of advanced, sustainable and leading-edge products.

In addition to face-to-face interactions with their customers, Dow sales professionals also visit dozens of trade shows and other events, showcasing their products using augmented reality (AR) via the representative’s mobile phone. The problem the representatives often run into is this: when a new product is to be showcased, either a new application must be created or an old one manually updated before it can be shared with a potential customer.

Our AR Model Management Platform eliminates the need for separate applications. This iOS and Android mobile application functions company-wide. AR models update automatically. Any employee with permission can view, color, scale and download models.

Utilizing a mobile device’s camera and screen, sales professionals exhibit product models as if they exist in the space around them. The user places the product on any surface, displaying real-world scale and structure to a potential customer. In addition, tapping the model highlights features and displays additional information.

Administrators add models to a central storage location and give model viewing capabilities to sales professionals.

Our platform is built with the Unity game engine, ARKit and ARCore. The models are saved on a SharePoint site, and access is handled through Azure Active Directory.
