AR can also be used to showcase 3D models and even provide tours, giving clients a solid idea of what a building would look like before it’s built. These labels can then bring up text or even 3D models to communicate safety or hazard information. Akular brings 3D models into the user’s physical environment.

Or even if such programs exist and students are let loose to model, render and animate to their heart content, once they enter the industry, they get quickly shown the ‘real’ ropes.
