Use of Augmented/Virtual Reality in Finance - Workshop

Nowadays, it seems like commercial banks are accounting for fewer mortgage loans than ever before, and that means more and more fintech companies are entering the highly competitive market - and AR technology is at the forefront of this customer experience transformation. For example, National Bank of Oman uses AR to allow customers to locate a nearby ATM or branch as well as find offers and deals while walking around a shopping mall or down the street anywhere in Oman. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Halifax in the UK offer "home finder" apps that use AR technology to allow users look at data on houses for sale as they pass them.

VR also unifies the real estate and the banking experience for the customer, which significantly reduces the hassles of scheduling appointments with customers, sellers, agents and bankers. With AR and VR becoming more functional as well as affordable, they can be utilized to transform the customer experience of the customers. Businesses that can effectively incorporate these immersive experiences by using the latest AR and VR technology will be able to create lasting impressions on customers.

The Asian Banker is pleased to present a series of workshops during the Future of Finance Summit 2019, which will create and inspire leaders from all over the world. In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of modern AR/VR as well as some of the representative applications currently being used by other financial institutions. Along the way, we also hope to excite you about the numerous applications and huge possibilities in the field of AR/VR, which continues to expand human capability beyond our imagination.

Delegates attending this one-day workshop will gain complimentary access to the Future of Finance Summit 2019–the most influential annual forum that brings together a wide range of players – banks, internet finance companies, asset managers, insurance companies, investors and customers.
