Description

The rise of virtual care services is an emerging trend to provide medical services without the need of physical presence. However, there are barriers related to the physician’s ability to measure vital signs, emotional and physical conditions, which prevents virtual care to deliver the same level of experience, as is the case with face-to-face care.
We have come up with innovative solutions based on set of our technologies, related to Vital signs measurements, EmoGraphy stress management, 3D depth sensing, etc., to enable AR/VR Enhanced Virtual Care. The proposed solutions try to improve upon existing virtual care by combining remote physiological measurement with 3D computer vision models of human pose and new forms of rendering 3D health information in an immersive and interactive manner, allowing spatially aligned rendering of vital signs data with captured images.
The proposed solution, can be extended to remotely monitor multiple subjects, which is useful for providing elderly care in crowded places.

Description

Engineers seeking to implement AR in production environments and at scale need to integrate AR-enabling technologies with existing IT architectures. The developers of AR solutions also need to offer their partners, customers and employees a range of acceptable options from which they can choose when developing or preparing to use AR-enabling components in a wide range of use cases and under diverse constraints. Unfortunately, current AR systems are vertically integrated and tightly controlled by the vendor who is offering the component or solutions.

Recognizing the needs of the AR industry to increase interoperability, there are many ongoing and emerging initiatives in international Standards Development Organizations and industry groups to specify standards. In this session attendees will learn the current status of these initiatives. With this insight, customer and product teams will be able to prioritize where to invest their resources and achieve the impacts that AR can offer with the highest flexibility and lower costs.

Description

Construction is a wasteful industry ripe for improvement: half of the energy consumed by buildings is wasted, and half of construction costs are waste. This is exacerbated by a chronic shortage of skilled construction labor. Our attempts to mitigate these three crises in sustainability, affordability, and equity lead us to seek new solutions to enable more effective decision-making as we digitize our construction processes. Augmented Reality enables our construction installation crews to leverage spatially-contextual data just-in-time and just-in-place, at the point of action where and when it matters most.
We will discuss a recent joint pilot project by McKinstry and Spectar, in which we used immersive AR hardware and software to support several AR use cases and objectively measure their impact upon commercial construction. In addition to empowering our construction managers to increase engagement with the owner and other project stakeholders, we leveraged AR to improve installation and quality control. Our AR-based hanger installation effort is especially noteworthy, as it enabled us to address sustainability with paperless construction, affordability by significant reducing time to complete, and equity by empowering lower-skilled labor crews. Finally, we have identified other new use cases for AR, supporting prefabrication in the shop and facility operations and maintenance.

Description

You’ve been told it works, you’ve seen it work, and maybe you’ve even made it work—but why does it work? Even enterprise developers and pilot champions do not always know the robust research that lives in the bones of their wonderful products, and to no fault of their own. The XR industry has somewhat overused valuable terms and frameworks (presence, immersion, transfer, embodiment, recall, DICE, etc.) for the worthy sake of speed of communication to the hoi polloi, but at the expense of breaking down the mechanics that would create a dialogue to push our products and pilots to the bleeding edge of efficacy. This I promise: the words you use will change your outcomes.

To that end, in this talk I’ll cover the aforementioned broad vocabulary, add some depth to each item with research and stories (near transfer, far transfer, embodiment congruency, contextual learning, Zone of Proximal Confusion, etc.), and end with a few practical examples of how these terms will very practically impact your simulation design and execution.

Description

As XR platforms become more constrained by their own closed ecosystems, standards such as WebXR have enabled the creation of new, interoperable user experiences that not only facilitate the consumption of 3D contents, but also enable their creation by taking advantage of the new interaction mechanisms (from the better depth perception that stereoscopic displays allow by default, to the multi-finger tracking solutions than more recent systems allow). Yet, the development of such tools is still a complicated process due to the different input mechanisms and hardware capabilities, making the definition of a common set of interaction techniques a sisyphean task. Against this background, IFE has been working on a framework that aims to simplify the creation of 3D editors for WebXR-enabled browsers, enabling end-users to intuitively create 3D scenes without the limitations of previous interaction paradigms. As the main developer behind this novel framework, Mikel Salazar will showcase the features of this novel framework and present several use cases where it has been applied.

Description

Aerospace manufacturing and maintenance, in even the most modern contexts, is dependent upon the successful execution of often complex and technically challenging processes by talented and properly trained technicians. Traditionally, learning these skills has required extensive classroom, lab, and on-the-job training based on static presentations and reference manuals. Once developed, deployment of these skills on the assembly line or in the maintenance hangar has further relied on “rectangular” reference information to provide guidance as to locations, dimensions, or process sequences critical to achieving quality results. What could a new approach using XR-based, contextually aware, and interactive presentations of technical information, in-situ, contribute to support initial learning and development for new employees, recurrent and differences training, and to provide “heads-up” guidance of the technician as to process flow and critical reminders? How might additional information fed from integrated IoT-enabled hand tools to this presentation provide further knowledge to the technician, enabling greater autonomy, decision making, and higher quality outcomes at lower cost? And, how could aggregation of this data into modern QMS and ERP systems efficiently record as-built quality data and unlock opportunities for process optimization? As aerospace manufacturing and maintenance endeavors to become more agile and the industry solves the simultaneous challenges of generational change and building the scale the workforce necessary to enable new markets like Advanced Aerial Mobility (AAM), we believe that XR and IoT have much to offer the industry, and particularly the talent, of tomorrow.
