A talk from the Inspire Track at AWE Europe 2017 - the largest conference for AR+VR in Munich, Germany October 19-20, 2017 Felix Meißgeier & Mathias Wildgrube (Viscopic & Volkswagen AG): Mixed Reality Robot Training @ Volkswagen Augmented Reality has real business cases - applications that could transform how industries function. This is especially true for the digitization of training scenarios. Reducing operational and travel costs, creating a safe learning environment, increasing training flexibility and expanding training scenarios are the top reasons for investing into virtual educational experiences. Mathias Wildgrube and Felix Meißgeier will talk about the latest cooperation between Viscopic and Volkswagen in implementing interactive Mixed Reality solutions for production operator training. Besides giving insights into the technical solution, we will discuss challenges, benefits and strengths of using Mixed Reality for this dedicated usecase.
