AR / VR in Manufacturing

AR /VR

Augmented reality (AR) augments your surroundings by adding digital elements to a live view, often by using the camera on a smartphone. Virtual reality (VR) is a completely immersive experience that replaces a real-life environment with a simulated one.

Augmented reality either makes visual changes to a natural environment or enhances that environment by adding new information. It can be used for various purposes, including gaming, product visualization, marketing campaigns, architecture and home design, education, and industrial manufacturing.

For example, VR can be used to simulate a manufacturing process, allowing engineers to identify potential problems with equipment placement or workflow. In addition, AR overlays can be used to provide real-time information about equipment performance, allowing technicians to quickly identify problems and make repairs.
