Think Augmented, Virtual, and Extended Reality is just for gamers? Think again. In this episode, Tom Mainelli, Group VP Consumer and Device Research at International Data Corporation (IDC), discusses how AR/VR/XR technologies are poised to disrupt processes in a wide variety of industries and use cases.
From simply re-imagining conference calls to completely upending knowledge transfer in manufacturing, AR/VR/XR technologies can literally show us a whole new world.
From the episode:
“I heard a stat once...that engineers at this large company spent a third of their time trying to track down blueprints for machines that were built 20 years ago. And if you can associate a digital blueprint to a device or to a machine when it's built, and whether it's five years from now or 10 years from now, when you walk up to it, that becomes available to someone in AR, you've just saved a huge amount of time.”
