Revolutionizing learning and engagement: DHC’s AR powered digital solutions for dentistry and beyond

DHC is built on a foundation that strongly values innovative and progressive technology. Introducing our latest and exciting web-based digital learning platform using AR assets, we are revolutionizing the way we learn by providing an interactive and engaging experience. With AR, we can/ visualize abstract concepts and bring them to life, leading to better understanding and retention of information. Additionally, AR-based learning is accessible, scalable, and cost-effective, making education more inclusive and open to a much wider audience.

DHC was the first in the dental industry to begin using VR technology. We quickly realize the pain points that are associated with this. Augmented Reality (AR) is easier to use when compared to Virtual Reality (VR) as it does not require a specialized headset, hardware, or any additional software to experience it. AR allows users to interact with digital content and information overlaid on the physical world in real time through their smartphones or tablets. DHC’s technology offers seamless integration with a wide range of file types and data sources, which means we can easily incorporate your existing product information and 3D files into our platform. By integrating your product information and STL files into our 3D AR viewer, we can create a more dynamic and engaging experience for your target audience. They will be able to interact with and explore your products in a highly immersive and interactive way, providing a deeper level of understanding and appreciation for what you have to offer.

One of the main advantages of our web-based learning platform is that we provide a flexible and convenient way for individuals to learn at their own pace and on their own schedule. Learners can access custom-made course materials and resources from anywhere, at any time, using a variety of devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Users will have a range of multimedia resources such as videos, quizzes, and interactive exercises to help keep them engaged and motivated throughout the learning process. Paired with our 3D AR assets that can be a stand-alone feature to your website or embedded within that online educational course, it creates such a powerful and effective learning experience for everyone.

“By providing an interactive 3D model, your learners can gain a better understanding of the different angles and perspectives required to perform these procedures.”

From a clinical perspective, we understand it can be challenging to educate dental students and professionals on what is happening in the mouth. By providing an interactive 3D model, your learners can gain a better understanding of the different angles and perspectives required to perform these procedures effectively in a custom module. By visualizing these conditions in a 3D AR viewer on our platform, it creates a more immersive and engaging way to explore and understand this course material. DHC believes that this technology can help customers by providing them with enhanced visualization of the product itself before purchasing it or even using this technology for tech support. Our versatile technology can be used for a multitude of things from visualizing products and parts in 3D, creating interactive modules and guides, and more.

DHC understands that one of the key advantages of using our platform is that we can generate detailed analytics reports that provide insights into user engagement, completion rates, and much more. Our clients can gain a deeper understanding of how their learners are engaging with their content and identify areas where improvements can be made. For example, if a particular course module has a low competition rate, our clients can review that content, identify the roadblocks, and create a solution to help their learners. By leveraging these tools that DHC offers, our clients can create more effective and impactful learning experiences for their audience. We are revolutionizing the way people acquire new skills, knowledge, marketing, and selling.

We would also like to share that QR code technology is changing the game, making it easier than ever to access rich, interactive AR experiences. Simply scan with your smartphone’s camera and be greeted with high-quality, engaging AR models. The tracking and analytics capabilities of QR codes provide businesses with valuable insights into customer behavior and preferences, allowing them to make data-driven decisions and improve their marketing strategies. Our top priority is to ensure that our platform and technology are both user-friendly and simple to use. We strive to provide our client’s target audience with an intuitive and seamless experience that allows them to easily access and interact with our client’s products and knowledge without sacrificing the accuracy and details for effective learning and marketing.

DHC is creating digital solutions for the future of dentistry. Take the first step towards finding the perfect solution for your needs. Schedule a meeting with us today and let’s work together to create a personalized strategy that fits your unique requirements. We’re here to listen, collaborate, and help you achieve your goals.

How are holograms being used as a tool for education, and what is the vision behind their development?

Holograms, particularly through Augmented Reality (AR), are being used as a transformative tool for education by making abstract concepts tangible and interactive. DHC’s AR-based platform allows learners to visualize complex ideas, such as dental procedures, in 3D, enhancing understanding and retention. This immersive approach enables users to explore detailed models from multiple angles, creating a more engaging and effective learning experience.

The vision behind their development is to make education more accessible, scalable, and cost-effective. By leveraging AR, DHC aims to provide flexible, device-agnostic learning opportunities that cater to individual paces and schedules. This technology also supports detailed analytics, helping educators refine content for better outcomes. Ultimately, DHC envisions AR as a way to revolutionize skill acquisition, marketing, and product visualization, making knowledge and tools more inclusive and impactful for a wider audience.

What makes the DHC/Exocad computer unique in its capabilities?

DHC computers are meticulously engineered to optimize performance for exocad software, distinguishing them from systems like Alienware and off-the-shelf PCs. Our custom-built machines feature advanced liquid cooling technology, ensuring they operate at peak efficiency to fully leverage both hardware and software capabilities. Prior to shipment, each computer undergoes a rigorous 48-hour burn-in test in a controlled environment at 98°F to guarantee reliability and stability.

Additionally, we offer preloaded exocad software and training modules on our desktops and laptops. Ensuring that our clients receive systems that are fully configured, thoroughly tested, and complemented by training modules so they can hit the ground running. To further support our commitment to quality, DHC provides an industry-leading 3-year warranty, surpassing standard market offerings and ensuring long-term reliability for our clients.

NOTES

(1) Based on the survey in August 2023 in CAN of 10 Invisalign trained orthodontists who participated in the Invisalign® Palatal Expander System Technical Design Assessment and have treated at least 1 patient age 6-11 years with IPE, who responded to the question: “Please indicate your agreement with the following statement: Patients treated with the Invisalign® Palatal Expander System experience better oral hygiene than those patients treated with traditional palatal expanders (such as Schwartz, Hyrax, etc.)”. Agreement scale is 1-4 with 1 being “strongly disagree” and 4 being “strongly agree”. Data on file at Align Technology, as of October 30, 2023.
