Description

Effectively deploying digital continuity solutions such as AR-guided operator solutions require the right combination of applications highly adapted to specific needs and constraints, of hardware implementation (projection, head-mounted displays like the HoloLens, tablets, mobiles, desktop workstation, IoS, Android, Windows…) and of data use and exploitation (PLM and CAD data, field data…). Besides, effectively deploying digital continuity solutions with an optimal ROI more and more assumes the right combination of various technologies into integrated solutions (simulation, IoT, robotics, AR/MR, AI…). Last but not least, effectively deploying digital continuity solutions always requires that players from various profiles (industrial companies, integrators, engineering consultants…) may effectively collaborate for industry-fitted solutions. In this presentation, Diota will share its experience in deploying real use cases taking into account all these key points and will explain how to effectively success.

This presentation will begin with a short introduction to the Boeing Augmented Reality Kit (BARK) platform architecture. The presenter will discuss (1) its interfaces to production systems for retrieval of work instructions and configuration controlled 3D data, (2) the Services layer and automated building of 3D “jobs” for mobile devices, and (3) the front end applications running on the Microsoft HoloLens, Smartphones and Tablets.

We will then cover the first four use cases and applications to airplane manufacturing – BARK Wire Install, Locator, Viewer and Part Install. Following this, we will review work now completed to move the BARK back end into the cloud, and how we incorporated requirements around Information Security, Infrastructure and Safety into the design. Finally, the presenter will discuss some architecture considerations as the platform evolves and grows to incorporate new use cases in Boeing factories, and larger groups of more diverse users.

There can be few more compelling use cases for VR than ones that help to prevent suffering and pain. Today the World Health Org estimates that 5,000,000,000 people suffer through lack of access to good surgical skills. The reason for this, surgeons are a scarce resource that take 8+ years to train and still lack many of the basic skills to perform. It is in part why every year in the US alone over 400,000 people die because of medical error (source: John Hopkins).

VR holds the answer. It can dramatically lower the cost and accelerate delivery of education. It can provide a safe, measurable place for surgeons to rehearse and refine skills. It can provide unique and deep data insights into performance, decisioning and skills that ultimately will make patients better informed (to choose their surgeons) and provide access to surgical skills in developing countries.

In this talk Vicky will explore the need case, examine the technology and provide application case studies that come from the roll out of Fundamental Surgery, the global leading VR surgical education platform.

Description

“The past few years in the AR/VR industry have shown an increase in understanding around hardware and use cases for augmented and virtual reality devices, and this has happened in stages. The first stage was education around how AR/VR devices and experiences actually work: differences between AR and VR, how spatial tracking and georegistration work, etc. The next stage is currently ongoing, where small scale pilot phases and beta tests show potential in specific use cases; this is where the common case study metrics come from, with use cases like Training, remote expertise, and field service are commonly tied to impressive but vague improvements in case studies. But as the market begins to truly scale, there are near infinite variables that can significantly impact ROI, and lead to disappointing results when compared in a vacuum to the existing case study data.

This talk will hone in on those potential variables both in current popular verticals and use cases as well as less explored areas, and contextualize everything with both quantitative market data and qualitative talking points. This information will serve as a jumping off point for future discussion, preparation, and ideally implementation with some of the unsureness removed from the equation.”

Description

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) play a key role to the product development. While CAD is used for the geometry construction, CAE tools allow us not only to test the functionality of a product before even building a prototype, but also to optimize our initial design with respect to the requirements of the product. Due to the complexity of the tools, its use is currently limited to a restricted number of expert users.
Siemens Corporate Technology has developed a novel workflow that integrates all the necessary steps from designing a product with a CAD tool, testing its mechanical properties interactively , till its optimization with an in-house tool and all these steps in the same virtual environment. Our workflow contains easy-to-learn user interfaces which extend the use of CAD and CAE tools to non-experts enabling them to design and test their idea without having deep knowledge of complex software tools. This workflow and the several challenges and chances of the use of virtual reality in the simulation field will be discussed in detail during our presentation.

A good, practical and user-friendly Augmented or Virtual Reality application can provide clear return on investment for many businesses. Adopting software-driven solutions while the hardware in the market matures will give you a competitive edge while others are still catching up. However, there's still a major roadblock: where do you get data in the formats required for AR & VR? Realtime 3D, 360 Media, Point Cloud Data are neither cheap nor easy to come by – especially when it needs to be highly optimized to run on portable devices with limited battery life and performance.
