How Augmented and Virtual Reality Are Redefining Engineering Today

Overcoming the Toughest Challenges in Engineering

Disruption of Digital Continuity

Departmental information silos and analog input lead to disruption and loss of information.

Cost of Physical Prototypes

Creating physical prototypes requires a lot of raw materials, equipment, and time.

Collaboration across Distances

In product development, travel is frequent, expensive, time-consuming and hard on employees.

Error Rate in the Design Process

Creating 3D CAD models in 2D without the ability to visualize them in the physical world can lead to a high error rate in the product design process.

The Benefits of Using Augmented Reality in Engineering

Fully Digitized Product Development Process

Collaborating on the same digital prototype in a digital space ensures end-to-end data consistency: all required product data is complete and up-to-date for everyone involved. This eliminates misunderstandings and redundancies, reduces the number of design iterations, and speeds time to market.

Economical and Sustainable Prototyping

AR-enabled digital prototyping helps eliminate physical materials and waste while saving time – reducing the overall cost of prototyping and even having a positive impact on sustainability.

Solutions

Efficient Remote Collaboration on 3D Models

With Augmented Reality, teams can collaborate on digital prototypes in real-time without being in the same physical location. They can visualize, review, and interact with 3D models. This reduces the number of meetings, travel costs, and the carbon footprint.

Quick and Easy Error Detection

Augmented Reality allows teams to see and test their creations at life size and to overlay them in the real world. By using AR, teams can accelerate the concept evaluation process and reduce the number of errors in design iterations. This results in significant cost savings and faster time-to-market.

Improve Your Engineering Workflows with Augmented Reality

In an Augmented Reality digital work environment, CAD designs are visualized as 3D holograms. Users of AR applications can merge their CAD models with the real world and overlay physical objects. They can interact and collaborate on designs in a variety of ways, remotely and regardless of location. Our XR Engineering application Hololight Space, is the first Industrial Metaverse solution to enable interaction and multi-user mode between Augmented and Virtual Reality.
