In a world that is becoming more and more digital, the terms Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are crucial. They are a crucial component of the manufacturing of the future, and by giving workers an immersive experience at work, manufacturers may increase their productivity.

Augmented Reality also gives manufacturers a chance to incorporate holographic technology into their product development process. This will allow them to test products without having to invest money in creating an entire facility for this purpose. An improved virtual experience as an extension of physical presence in manufacturing environments has a variety of intriguing use cases. However, as well as implementing the digital imagery and developing AR and VR applications specific to manufacturing needs, it is also necessary to ensure the highest quality, secure and resilient connectivity to make this a success.

Application of AR and VR

AR and VR technology have been around for decades. However, with the introduction of smartphones and tablets and their ability to show high-definition visuals on their screens, their use has increased dramatically in recent years. Manufacturing (i.e., quality assurance, customisation), healthcare (i.e., medical imaging), education and training (i.e., virtual classrooms), construction (i.e., CAD/CAM modelling), hospitality services (i.e., hotel room decorating), transportation services (i.e., car design), and media production are just a few of the industries that are using AR/ VR technologies.
