A talk from the Work Track at AWE USA 2017 - the largest conference for AR+VR in Santa Clara, California May 31- June 2, 2017.
Mark Sage (AREA): All You Need to Know About Enterprise Augmented Reality Requirements
Through a partnership with the AREA and the DMDII a set of global Enterprise Augmented Reality standard requirements have been created. Find out about why and how these requirements were created and how you can access and influence them. A "must attend session" for people interested in the Enterprise ecosystem.

- Why IT projects fail
Why do we need
“Ecosystem”
Requirements?
- Benchmark
- Common understanding
- Lower costs
- Time saving
- Enables success

The process - UI Labs / DMDII
- Core team
- Lockheed Martin
- Proctor and Gamble
- Caterpillar
- Draft
- Hardware
- Software
First Global AR Functional
Requirements
10. 10
Kick off
- DMDII and the AREA
- AR Requirement
Workshop
- 65 companies
- 90 attendees
- Step by step walk through
11. 11
Just to clarify - Based on cross industry
generalizations
- Only industrial based use-
cases (e.g. manufacturing,
field services, etc…)
- Understand some
requirements are not
immediately achievable
- Industry specific requirements
may need further refinement
12. 12
The results
Hardware
- Battery life
- Connectivity
- Field of view
- On-board storage
- On-board operating
system
- Environmental
- Inputs/outputs safety
- Visual Tracking
- Wearability/Comfort
14. 14
Next steps
- AREA now own global AR
functional requirements
- Benchmark for the industry
- Agreed key principles and plan
for way forward
Key principles
- Ensure wide and clear
communication
- Obtain feedback from ecosystem
- Easy to provide feedback
- Provide clear and regular
feedback
15. 1515
Understand, influence and impact the
global AR ecosystem through
Enterprise AR requirements for both
hardware and software
GlobalEnterpriseAR
requirements - Part of the Requirements
Committee who own
Enterprise AR Requirements
- First workshop held March
2017
- 45 companies – 90+ people
attended
- AR Requirements to be hosted
on AREA website
The Benefit…
The Proof…
There is a lot of hype surrounding Augmented
Reality in manufacturing and being a member
permits us to showcase the real value of AR to our
network of industrial partners. In particular, the
process of gathering and documenting
Requirements so crucial to the early adoption
process.

Editor's Notes
Hello everyone, my name is Mark Sage and I’m the Executive Director of the AREA.
The only global membership funded alliance, helping to accelerate the adoption of Enterprise Augmented Reality (AR) by creating a comprehensive ecosystem.
Its really exciting to be here at the AWE event, today I will talk about the current status of the Enterprise AR ecosystem and what the AREA and its members are doing to improve and increase its awareness
So what is the AREA doing to help create / support a comprehensive ecosystem?
Let explain who, what and why the AREA is needed
Read slide
Created for - innovative companies aspiring to invest in Augmented Reality (AR) technology
Who need - a better understanding of the tools available, application possibilities, methods of implementation and return on investment
And want - an opportunity to learn, co-innovate and build partnerships aspiring for the long term adoption of AR technology
The AREA provides - a free and open exchange of good practice, lessons learned and technological insights
Thought Leadership
Information Portal - All the latest news, blog articles, thought leading content, events, uses cases and white papers regarding AR for the Enterprise from a neutral source – your one stop shop – being updated as we speak
Thought Leadership Neutral Content – Access for members to the latest insight and content which can be used in discussion with potential customers, help develop strategies and create a competitive edge
Networking & Marketplace
Membership Community - Opportunity to meet other organisations involved in AR through virtual and face to face meetings
Area and Industry Events- A listing of all the AREA and many of the industry events on a month by month basis as well as discounts and speaking opportunities
Market place – in development – a tool for enterprises to search on business problems / use cases and will return technologies needed and AREA provider member services
Research
Member Defined Research Projects – Opportunity to propose research projects to further AR innovation and market understanding. Designed by the members and voted for by the members
Educate
Defining industry Best Practices – we are working with our members and other organisations like the DMDII (Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute) to create a set of Enterprise requirements to share / communicate across the ecosystem
So to summarise the situation, we are currently in (what I’m calling) an “irregular” ecosystem
The irregular ecosystem characteristics include:
There is uncertainty in the areas to invest
Providers unable to find customers
Technology readiness is unclear
Best use cases still being defined
Efficiencies difficult to achieve
Developing ecosystem
Clarity provided on best practice
Best tools for purpose
Language being shared
Greatest efficiency impact
Key business decision makers being involved
Maturing ecosystem
Working standards defined
Economy of scale
Mature solutions
Innovation slows
Small efficiencies gained
The AREA offers a range of membership classes
All members
Access to member only content
Join speaker bureau / received discounts to events
Participate in AREA committees
Contribute to and benefit from AREA-directed research projects
Contribute to all AREA activities
List products and services in AR marketplace
