Adrian Plata (Content Marketing Manager at metaio GmbH): “What exactly is being shown in the video?”
Mirko Compagno (Augmented Reality architect at THE ROUND Italy): “This video is a demo of a home power panel. If someone points his/her own mobile device to the power panel, some augmented reality labels will be disclosed. Labels indicate how to use the different switches. A virtual assistant is positioned near the boiler switch. The virtual assistant explains how to service a boiler. As it is a demo, we created only a video for boiler maintenance. Otherwise, our idea is to associate a virtual assistant’s audio and video to explain each switch.”
Adrian Plata: “What is this application for? What are you trying to accomplish with it?”
Mirko Compagno: ”A company has required this AR application demo. The basic idea is to offer an augmented reality useful home maintenance guide to the end user.”
Adrian Plata: "How long have you used Metaio technology? Are there any other projects using our tech that you can share?"
Mirko Compagno: “We have been using Metaio for about 4 years. Here are some examples;

Adrian Plata: “I browsed through your website briefly and noticed you guys feature another tool. Why are you using Metaio for this project as opposed them?
Mirko Compagno: At the beginning, we made use of other tools for some projects. However, Metaio can offer more opportunities for a developer, and this is the reason why Metaio is now the primary technology for our AR projects.
