How can I increase sales and help the customer understand the value of your product even before the purchase?

VR technologies allow you to not just talk about a product or service, but also give the customer the opportunity to see, study and practically "feel" the offer even before it is implemented in the physical world.

At the online event, we will show how virtual reality transforms from a spectacular technology into a practical tool for product presentation and customer service.

You'll find out:

— how VR helps to present a product more vividly and increase its perceived value;

— how to show a client an object that has not yet been built or is located in another part of the world;

— how VR tours can be integrated into the sales and project presentation process;

— how does a VR presentation differ from conventional renderers, videos, and 3D visualizations;

— what business tasks can be solved with the help of VR today;

— how to use VR in meetings with clients, sales offices, showrooms and exhibitions.

Where can I use VR?

VR glasses can be used for presentations.:

— 🏙️ residential and commercial real estate - apartments, residential complexes, offices and business centers;

— architectural and development projects before the start or completion of construction;

— interior and furniture design — the client can see the future interior in advance;

— hotels, resorts and tourist sites — virtually get acquainted with the room, territory or location;

— 🍽️ restaurants, cafes and public spaces;

— cars and other complex products that are important to show in volume and detail;

— 🏭 industrial equipment and production facilities;

— 🏢 showrooms, exhibition stands, and commercial spaces;

— educational and presentation services, where immersion and visual demonstration are important.

Join the online meeting and learn how to use VR technologies to effectively present a product and build a new customer experience.

During this online lecture, Yaroslav Knyazev will demonstrate live how AI uses MCP to create objects, write code, run a scene, review the result, and correct errors. Participants will learn how MCP works, where it is useful, what its current limitations are, and what is needed to try it independently.

The lecture is designed for Unity developers, game studios, and professionals interested in AI and digital products.

Yaroslav Knyazev is a ROQED specialist and a Unity Certified Associate Programmer. ROQED develops digital education and industrial solutions using 3D, VR, and AI, including the ROQED Science and Mechanicum platforms.

Over the past couple of years, AI has been introduced almost everywhere. Now the hype is subsiding and even skepticism towards technology is emerging, and people are tired of the word itself.

Therefore, at the Awara IT webinar, we want to shift the focus a little and talk about what actually works in HR.

Why 80/20? Because AI is more of an addition, rather than a solution to all problems.

Date: October 21st
Time: 16:00 (Almaty)

At the webinar:

• Let's look at which IT solutions will help increase employee engagement, motivation, and opportunities for development. Let's show some examples.
• Let's talk about how attitudes towards AI have changed recently and where it complements the skills of employees.
• Let's talk about the training and skills that employees need to work now.
• Let's also share our experience: what we tried to implement in our HR projects, where we got a good result, where we made a mistake, and what conclusions we drew.

For whom:

HRD, HR department heads, HRBP, L&D, and colleagues who are responsible for HR processes, employee engagement, and development.

What you will get after the webinar:

• the most demanded HR automation solutions in Kazakhstan in 2025-2026 using the example of Awara IT projects and lessons learned 
• understanding where AI is really needed and where basic automation is sufficient;
• learn how to calculate ROI from using AI in HR.

We suggest not looking for where else to introduce new technologies, but first understand the task and build the main process.

The AI here is the very 20% that can enhance the other 80%.

Participation is free, registration is only required.
