Smama Practical: Insights on Augmented and Mixed Reality

RETO GROB, NETCETERA

Industrial and manufacturing companies can benefit a lot from augmented and mixed reality. One reason is that they have physical goods, real objects in their sites, where digital information so far was difficult to present or to be used and thanks to AR/MR can be embedded in their working space. They also invest in general digitization efforts which generates data and content which then can be used in AR/MR scenarios. We show some of the core thoughts in approaching these type of projects and also show an example with the checklist AR solution that we offer to industrial companies and which is available on Magic Leap One, HoloLens and smartphones.

RETO SENN, BITFORGE

With Augmented Reality there are several approaches and devices to consider. Bitforge has developed two proof of concept applications that continue to be developed: HoloTram, a HoloLens application for engineers working on maintenance and repairs and Casa Augmented, a mobile application that changes the way properties are being bought. We will present key findings and you will get a chance for a hands-on with the applications.
