Putting Humans Back In The Loop: Using AR And VR Effectively In Industrial Systems

Immersive technology, used right, creates an almost symbiotic interaction between people and machines. We can build systems that use the best of both worlds: human intelligence and AI, robotic strength and human dexterity, human experience and machine learning. But how do we go about this? How can we design the tasks and interactions so that they work for people? Is a person with an AR headset a better robot? We may be able to build the matrix within the next two decades... Do we want to? How can you use immersive technology best today?

Target Audience: Anyone interested in AR and VR
Prerequisites: None
Level: Introductory

Extended Abstract
Immersive technology, used right, creates an almost symbiotic interaction between people and machines. This means we can build systems that use the best of both worlds: human intelligence and AI, robotic strength and human dexterity, human experience and machine learning. But how do we go about this? How can we design the tasks and interactions so that they work for people, and have the desired results? Is a person with an AR headset a better robot? We may be able to build the matrix within the next two decades... Do we want to? And meanwhile, for your business: how can you use immersive technology best today? Give your workers superpowers with AR, link your experts with digital twins using VR, and link your engineering and service sites with immersive collaboration.
