“Educating the
individual is this
country’s most
valuable investment.
It represents the
foundation for
progress and
development“

Skills, and skills development, are an
essential component of all efforts in this
challenging society. Too many workers
are simply unprepared to meet the
needs of firms, particularly in more
competitive economic environments.

Engineers with the right skills, with excellent experience and
experimental training, are the demands in the industry
worldwideCarlos J. Ochoa Fernández ©

If we wish to prepare a generation of citizens,
entrepreneurs and leaders for the 21th. century who can
face real-world problems, we must give them real-world
problems to solve.

New technologies are an emerging industry creating employment opportunities and
entrepreneurial possibilities. Virtual reality and augmented reality represent incredible areas of
opportunity. VR failed to live up to the wildest promises when the new VR systems launched in
2015. But the number of job postings for VR and AR have risen 93% since 2015, with 17% of that
growth happening in the past year.
According to projections set out by the European Commission, market demands for qualified
information and communications technology (ICT) specialists will not be met, seeing a shortfall
of up to 500,000 ICT professionals in 2020. Virtual and Augmented Reality solutions are amongst
those with some of the highest market demand in the ICT sector.
Education is the driver to sustainability of our economy and functionality of humanity. Every day
we seek to learn new information and and the way we take the lessons and apply to our every
day lives, is the core of how we explore we grow and we build futures for ourselves.
Through virtual and augmented realities, the technology allows the user to immerse themselves
into a virtual experience or location and the immersive lesson is retained at a much quicker time
frame with a more impactful lasting memory. VR & Learning, by the National Training
Laboratory, advised retention rates for lecture style learning were at 5%, with reading rates at
10%. Meanwhile, the teaching method of VR scored a retention rate of 75%.
Understanding we are moving into a world with exponential growth, there is a necessary
requirement to update our education system to support innovative technologies to understand
how it will be applied to job creation and support digital support systems and processes.

HISTORY AND EVOLUTION

• All humans and animals have binocular vision, meaning their
vision is constructed using two eyes. Because our eyes are at
different lateral positions on our heads, they project two
slightly different images back to our retinas. The horizontal
disparities between these two images are what creates the
depth perception that allows us to perceive objects in three
dimensions. While this is a naturally occurring process for
people who have the regular use of binocular vision, it can be
simulated.
• Discovered in 1838 by Sir Charles Wheatstone, stereoscopy
creates the illusion of three-dimensional depth using two-
dimensional images. Stereoscopy takes two slightly different
two-dimensional images and presents them separately to the
left and right eye. These images are typically called
stereograms, and with the help of a stereoscope, the brain
accepts the images as one solid three-dimensional object.
This combination of both images creates the perception of
three-dimensional depth.

VR/AR/MR DEFINITION

Virtual Reality (VR) refers to a
completely simulated reality,
which is built with computer
systems by using digital formats
in immersive environments.
Building and visualizing this
alternative reality requires a
specific hardware and software
capable to create a realistic
immersive experience.
Augmented Reality (AR)
superposes synthetic
elements like 3D objects,
multimedia contents or text
information onto real-world
images, increasing its
possibilities of interaction
with the user.
Mixed Reality (MX): The
predominantly virtual spaces
where real world objects or
people are dynamically
integrated into virtual worlds
to produce new environments
and visualizations where
physical and digital objects
co-exist and interact in real
time.
There are multiple access points to VR, AR and MR (Smartphone, PC,
Tablet and Standalone). Each facilitates specific types of experiences
with varying degrees of immersion, presence, and agency.

ECOSYSTEMS

Imagine a platform, that deploy an
intelligent XR ecosystem with the
specialized know-how to turn
unstructured data into value-adding
information, e.g. when providing
services such as preventive
maintenance, security management or
operational management.

 Quality, standards and sustainability
 Expensive or difficult hand on practice (no experimental, no real world
scenarios…)
 Dificult assestment process.
 Most of existing solutions are isolated, expensive and not VRAR
designed. Also have a gap about learning processes, methodology and
instructional approach

XR ENGINEERING
ECOSYSTEM

Virtual reality engineering includes the use of 3D
modelling tools and visualisation techniques as part of
the design process. This technology enables engineers to
view their project in 3D and gain a greater understanding
of how it works. Plus they can spot any flaws or potential
risks before implementation.Carlos J. Ochoa Fernández ©

Virtual Reality Is Leading Sports-Tech Wave
(Forbes)
The possibilities are endless with immersive
technology like virtual and augmented reality.
Through VR you can teleport yourself onto the
sideline of a game or put on a haptic suit and rush
outside the pocket trying to avoid a defensive
lineman coming at you. In AR you can scan a team’s
logo or brand sponsor and bring a custom animated
message to life. These mediums are advancing
every day allowing us the ability to build the
ultimate fan experienceCarlos J. Ochoa Fernández ©

Today, XR can enable experiential learning
by simulating real-world environments.
Students can test their skills, record their
work and interact with experts all within
XR.

CASE STUDIES

IKEA Place
Ikea Place is a revolutionary new AR application that allows customers to visualize how furniture
will look in their house in the exact size dimensions. This was one of the first Apple ARKit
applications and remains one of the top 5 downloaded ARKit apps. Ikea isn’t new to virtual and
augmented reality having produced a VR Pancake Kitchen experience where you can cook
pancakes in a beautiful Ikea kitchen. They also made the app available for download on the
popular VR game distribution site, Steam. Another company doing VR and AR furniture
placement is Marxent Labs, based in Florida.
Modiface
Modiface has created a solution that allows people to try on makeup in real time using
augmented reality. This technology is currently being used by MAC, Smashbox, Estee Lauder and
more. Similar to the way Snapchat works, Modiface enables overlays with very high precision.
StriVR
StriVR is taking their experience in training college and pro sports teams using virtual reality to
enterprise. As their first client, Walmart is using virtual reality for training its employees in a
variety of tasks. The program is so successful, they are expanding it.
BEST PRACTICES: RETAIL

BEST PRACTICES: AIRLINES
Skylights
This San Francisco based startup is providing premium movie watching in VR for
long flights. By immersing people in VR during their flights with theatre size screens,
suddenly the flight from NY to LA will seem like a trip to the corner store.
Airbus
Global airline giant, Airbus is using mixed reality (Hololens) to train engineers and
cabin crew on the intricacies of their new A350 XWB line of planes.
Eon Reality
Training employees on dangerous emergency procedures is costly and impractical.
Using VR to allow employees to train in scenarios on a more frequent basis will
allow for a much more prepared workforce. Eon Reality has been working on
industrial training for a long time focusing in the energy, pharma, medical, public
service, aerospace and airports sectors.

BEST PRACTICES: AUTOMOTIVE
Porsche Cars North America
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. announced the introduction of “Tech Live Look,” an Augmented
Reality technology designed to improve technical services at Porsche dealerships in the United
States. “Tech Live Look” uses the AiR Enterprise™ software platform from Atheer, Inc., a leading
provider of AR solutions, in conjunction with lightweight smart glasses. These high-tech spectacles
feature the latest in projection technology and come equipped with a high-resolution, auto focus
camera that shows even fine details such as threading on screws. The glasses include a powerful
LED to illuminate dark spaces in the engine compartment or under the car.
Ford
Ford’s immersive Vehicle Environment (FiVE) Lab is doing some incredible work using visualization
of vehicles in the design process. Ford executives must view every vehicle in VR before they are
approved to be made. VR is saving time and money on costly iterations.
Finger Food Studios
Vancouver-based Finger Food Studios is focused on using the Microsoft Hololens to allow
engineers to visualize wind flow for a new truck for Paccar Group. This working proof of concept
is already leading to shorter design turn around times, thus saving millions per year.

immersion therapy, this San Diego based company is pushing the limits of what’s possible.
Kapanu
A Swiss company, Kapanu is using AR in a unique way to show patients what their teeth will look
like after cosmetic surgery. By using advanced scanning techniques, they are able to recreate the
new teeth in place of the old in real time. This technique is similar to the face tracking that
Snapchat uses to put bunny ears on your head, only a little more useful.

BEST PRACTICES: TRAVEL & TOURISM
Discovery TRVLR
Discovery Channel is heavily invested in VR producing tons of unique and exciting content
including mini travel documentaries, all available for free. You can zip down Armenia’s longest
zipline or descend into a holy dungeon, all from the safety of your VR headset.
Google Earth VR
Using the power of Google Maps 3D data, this free magical VR experience allows users to travel
anywhere in the world and stand in the middle of the action. Most people take this opportunity
to travel to their first house and look around. Brands have not yet tapped into this wonderful
experience, but that might be coming soon.
XPLR by Travelweek

the ship to you through VR. Check out the free app to view your next travel destination today.
VisitAR by NextReality. An AR product developed to provide indoor and outdoor experiences - it
animates paintings, creates X-ray holes in buildings, allows you to walk inside churches that
don’t exist anymore and allows you to be guided by holographic knights into castles and palaces.

BEST PRACTICES: VOCATIONAL TRAINING
VR/AR products are amongst those with some of the highest market demand in
the ICT sector.
It is in this context that we will be launching the Jobs4tech project over the next
two years, providing vocational training in the relevant skills for employment and
entrepreneurship with these technologies.
The general objective is to align Vocational Training (VET) with the needs of the
labour market in the new technologies sector, and specifically in virtual and
augmented reality, to improve the employability of its students.
To achieve this goal, 12 VET professors from Germany, Estonia, Lithuania and
Spain, from the technological area and their students will experience an
integrated itinerary in the field of VR/AR, which will contemplate in a coordinated
way both the teaching of technical skills and the necessary competencies for
work as an employee or self in this sector.

BEST PRACTICES: SCHOOLS OF THE FUTURE
Is a program aimed at Educational Centers, Colleges and Institutes, with entrepreneurial,
innovative and creative will at the disposal of the Educational Community.
Throughout this program of 6/9 months, we help and facilitate organizations the learning of
VR/AR in the Classroom and discovering how it can be an effective tool for educators and
students.
Likewise, we provide a platform with VR / AR content and we teach students how to create
their own content.
The main objectives of the program are evaluate:
•benefits of VR / AR technology in the classroom,
•benefits in student outcomes,
•benefits in the social integration of the students,
•benefits to incorporate more students to STEM studies,
•benefits in the Creative Arts and analyze barriers to entry,
•the impact of the use of VR / AR devices on students health
