The Reverse Team

The team at Reverse Impresa Sociale is passionate about producing high-quality crafts while working closely with communities that face significant challenges. Their efforts are focused on continually enhancing the impact of their projects through creative solutions and the strategic use of technology.

The Challenge

Reverse Impresa Sociale needed an innovative approach to better showcase their products, highlighting the intricate craftsmanship and profound social value behind each item. The challenge was to communicate these elements effectively, ensuring that the significance of their work was fully appreciated by a wider audience.

The Solution

By utilizing My AR Studio, Reverse successfully integrated augmented reality into the presentation of their "Fatto in Carcere" products. They transformed CAD-based 3D models into highly detailed, interactive visualizations that users can explore on their smartphones and tablets. This augmented reality experience allows users to see these products in their actual size within their physical space, offering a closer look at the craftsmanship that goes into each piece.

Looking Forward

Reverse Impresa Sociale is eager to continue its partnership with My AR Studio, exploring new ways to push the boundaries of social innovation. With positive feedback driving their ambitions, Reverse is now considering augmented reality for more complex applications, such as the virtual prototyping of activity spaces and a product configurator. This approach would allow for the creation of immersive environments, complete with all design elements, that can be navigated in augmented reality before being brought to life.
