Question 1

What are augmented product demos?

Accepted Answer

Who are augmented product demos for?

Question 6

Do prospects need an app to view a demo?

Accepted Answer

No — prospects do not need an app to view a demo; it opens in the browser from a scan or link. Removing the download means it works in a live sales conversation.

Question 7

How does a prospect launch a demo?

Accepted Answer

A prospect launches a demo by scanning a code or tapping a link shared by sales, after which it opens in the browser. It is one tap from interest to a full-scale, interactive product.

Question 8

Does it work across iOS and Android?

Accepted Answer

Yes — augmented product demos work across iOS and Android from one build, so any prospect can engage. There are no separate apps to maintain.

Question 9

Can it be shared for self-guided exploration?

Accepted Answer

Yes — because the demo is a link, it can be shared for self-guided exploration after a meeting, letting prospects revisit it on their own. The demo keeps selling between conversations.

Question 10

Which devices support augmented product demos?

Accepted Answer

Augmented product demos are supported on the large majority of modern phones and tablets with a camera and current browser, plus an on-screen 3D view on desktop. Older devices fall back to a simpler interactive view.

Question 11

Which browsers are required?

Accepted Answer

The required browsers are the standard ones already on people’s devices — Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android. Prospects use whatever they have.

Question 12

Can it be presented on a laptop in a meeting?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the interactive 3D can be presented on a laptop in a meeting or call, while in-person prospects can place it at full scale on their phones. The demo adapts to the setting.

Question 13

What if a device can’t run camera AR?

Accepted Answer

If a device can’t run camera AR, the demo falls back to an interactive on-screen 3D view so the prospect still explores the product. The demonstration always lands.

Question 14

Can the demo show the product at full scale?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the demo can show the product at full scale in the prospect’s own space through world-tracking AR, conveying real size and presence. Scale is often the hardest thing to communicate any other way.

Question 15

Can it reveal internals or how the product works?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the demo can reveal internals and animate how the product works, opening it up in ways a physical sample can’t. This is ideal for complex or technical products.

Question 16

Can it show configurations, options or variants?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the demo can show configurations, options or variants, letting a prospect compare within one experience. This helps tailor the product to their needs on the spot.

Question 17

Can it include call-outs and selling points?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the demo can include call-outs and selling points layered onto the model, guiding the prospect to what matters. It can carry the sales narrative as well as the product.

Question 18

Can a prospect request a quote or contact sales from the demo?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a prospect can request a quote or contact sales from inside the demo via tappable calls-to-action. Exploration converts directly into a lead.

Question 19

How accurate are the demo models?

Accepted Answer

The demo models are built to be accurate in scale, detail and behaviour, because Holosplash’s engineering background makes correctness a priority. A demo that sells must be true to the product.

Question 20

Can you build from our CAD?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we can build from your CAD, which improves fidelity and speed and is ideal for technical products. Existing engineering data is the best starting point.

Question 21

How long does a product demo take to build?

Accepted Answer

A product demo typically takes from about a week for a single product to longer for complex or animated demos. We confirm the timeline once scope and CAD availability are clear.

Question 22

Can our team review before launch?

Accepted Answer

Yes — your team can review the demo before launch, with feedback rounds so the product and messaging are right. Sign-off happens before sales use it.

Question 23

Can sales trigger the demo live in a meeting?

Accepted Answer

Yes — sales can trigger the demo live in a meeting by sharing a code or link, bringing the product into the room instantly. It strengthens the pitch at the decisive moment.

Question 24

Does it replace shipping physical samples?

Accepted Answer

In many cases an AR demo can replace or reduce shipping physical samples, cutting cost and delay while still conveying the product convincingly. It is especially valuable for large or expensive items.

Question 25

Can one demo cover a whole product range?

Accepted Answer

Yes — one experience framework can cover a whole product range, with each demo opening its own model. This equips a sales team with the full catalogue in their pocket.

Question 26

Can it be used at trade shows?

Accepted Answer

Yes — AR product demos work well at trade shows, letting you present products too large or numerous to bring, and capturing visitor interest. The stand’s reach is no longer limited by what fits on it.

Question 27

Can we see who engaged with a demo?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you can see engagement with each demo, with opens, dwell time and interaction tracked. These are strong signals of buying intent for your sales team.

Question 28

What analytics are provided?

Accepted Answer

The analytics provided include opens over time, device, dwell time, which features were explored and taps on calls-to-action. These reveal what prospects care about.

Question 29

Who owns the engagement data?

Accepted Answer

You own the engagement data from your demos; Holosplash collects and presents it for you. It describes your prospects and stays yours.

Question 30

Can it integrate with our CRM or GA4?

Accepted Answer

Yes — on managed plans analytics can integrate with GA4, and enquiries can feed your CRM workflow. This keeps sales follow-up joined up.

Question 31

How much does an augmented product demo cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of an augmented product demo depends on the 3D and interaction involved, with hosted plans from €39/month and one-time production priced by scope. We quote transparently after a brief.

Question 32

Is hosting included?

Accepted Answer

Yes — hosting of the demo is included in the monthly plan, keeping it available and current. One-time build and 3D costs are separate.

Question 33

Can it save us money on demo logistics?

Accepted Answer

Yes — an AR demo can save money on demo logistics by reducing sample shipping, storage and staffed demo rooms. The savings often offset the build quickly.

Question 34

Do we pay per view?

Accepted Answer

No — you do not pay per view; hosted plans include unlimited views, so widely used demos cost no more. Budgeting stays predictable.

Question 35

Is our product data kept confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes — your product data and CAD are kept confidential under NDA throughout the engagement. Protecting proprietary product information is standard practice.

Question 36

Can demos be updated as the product changes?

Accepted Answer

Yes — demos can be updated as the product changes, with new versions live instantly and no rebuild from scratch. The demo stays accurate across the product’s life.

Question 37

Who owns the demo and its models?

Accepted Answer

Ownership of the demo and its models is agreed in writing, with work made for you licensed or assigned to you. Holosplash does not reuse your bespoke assets elsewhere.

Question 38

Is it GDPR-compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the demo experience is built to be GDPR-compliant, collecting only the analytics needed and handling any personal data lawfully. We align it with your privacy policy.

Question 39

How do we get started?

Accepted Answer

To get started, contact Holosplash with your product and sales goal, and we will recommend an approach in a short consultation. The first step is a conversation about what you sell.

Question 40

How soon will an AR demo affect our sales cycle?

Accepted Answer

An AR demo can affect your sales cycle from the first meeting it’s used in, by making the product clearer and shortening the path to a decision. Engagement analytics also help your team prioritise the warmest leads quickly.

Question 41

How does an AR demo compare to a video or a physical sample?
