“Mobile Strategy” Goes Way Beyond Apps

For your next cocktail-conversation, you can be really cool by saying “AR is real… VR is just a game.”
Go on by saying you heard about the Microsoft Hololens Hack that Raizlabs hosted in their Boston office the other weekend … and the difference between Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality was obvious … you need to be able to see thru the headset to the real world and overlay ultra-valuable data. You cannot see thru the Facebook’s Oculus headset screen. Think about the building construction team that can be looking at a wall and “see” the blueprint drawings where the plumbing and electricity are … right in front of them!
“Our team at Raizlabs loves to be at the front of emerging technologies like Amazon Alexa Skills and Hololens Applications” says Dean Andrews Director of Business Development. “We are reaching out to companies that want strategy and development for these types of cloud-connected-devices.” Companies like Audi, Lowe’s, Airbus, and NASA are building real efficiency and innovation with their product teams such as CAD designers.
So, what is your company doing with and beyond your Mobile smartphone strategy?
Give us a call if you want to know more about what we are learning at Raizlabs and what the dozen or so teams came up with for Hololens … with names like GuideDog and BeerGoggles!
Alexa is Another Project Beyond Mobile Apps
Amazon’s Alexa Echo is a phenomenal voice-activated servant service – just ask any family with one in their kitchen! Custom “skills” will allow your brand to provide value, ignite interest, and trigger actions.  See the below short demo video for ordering beverages from one of the startups in our XLR8 program. More on our Echo services here.
The Raizlabs team has several skills being approved by Amazon. This example, for the Buttery booze delivery startup, has customer authentication, integration with Buttery’s backend system, ordering, and payment. As easy as “Beer me!”
