DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION:
GETTING IT WRONG UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT

Click to View

The use of mixed reality in manufacturing has become more and more prevalent in production and design, and now XR tools are starting to transform the industrial workforce training and development, driven undoubtedly in part by the widespread shift to work from home policies.

Nicholaus Hughes demonstrated how XR training can help you overcome the challenges of a retiring workforce, the skills gap, and safety concerns when returning to the plant and office.
