VR and AR help visualize your production solution

The manufacturing industry is evolving rapidly due to concepts such as connectivity and Industry 4.0. An important part of the development in the industry is the interaction between human and machine. Technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) open up for the possibility to work proactively and experience production solutions before they are implemented in real life. New ways to present and experience information Virtual Reality (VR) generates realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user’s physical presence in a virtual or imaginary 3D-environment. The effect is commonly created by VR headsets consisting of head-mounted goggles. Everything you do is reflected in the artificial environment. A person using VR equipment is able to move around in the artificial world and interact with virtual features or items. Another way of presenting information is through Augmented Reality (AR). Augmented Reality is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment where some of the elements are “augmented” by computer-generated or extracted real-world sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. Augmented reality enhances one’s current perception of reality whereas, in contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one. Augmentation techniques are typically performed in real time and in semantic context with environmental elements, such as overlaying supplemental information, like mounting instructions.
