Shore Hire is excited to announce that we have just launched a revolutionary new website tool that allows customers to view our Steel Road Plates in real time and true-to-size on their job site by harnessing the power of Augmented Reality.

Using state-of-the-art augmented reality technology and leveraging Apple’s native AR viewing feature, customers can select the size of the Steel Road Plate they plan to use and, using an AR-ready device like an iPhone or iPad, view how it will fit on their job site in true-to-scale sizing. Doing this allows customers to quickly visualise if and how the steel road plate will fit and avoid the need for time-consuming and antiquated measuring techniques, especially when a measuring tape isn’t readily available.

There are two views in the visualiser – the ‘AR’ view, which allows the customer to see the Steel Road Plate true-to-size in any real-life space, and the ‘Object’ view, which shows a digital 3D model that customers can move around and manipulate.

The digitalised Steel Road Plate can be moved around to fit the desired area, and customers are encouraged to walk around the space to view different angles and to better visualise the plate. The screen can also be pinched to zoom the plate in or out – 100% is true to size. 

This tool has already received great traction and feedback from our customers and we are already exploring ways to bring more of our products into this powerful system, watch this space for more announcements soon!
