Extended reality (XR) is particularly relevant in the areas of virtual and augmented reality, digital transformation and Industry and Factory 4.0. Extended reality (XR) describes the generic term for technologies that extend our real world with digital content or even create completely new, virtual environments. These include virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR).
With XR, companies can train employees virtually, repair complex machines remotely or present products without actually being on site. One example: In industry, technicians can use special XR glasses to be guided through digital instructions while servicing a machine. They see helpful instructions directly in their field of vision as if they were actually attached to the machine.
Extended reality (XR) makes processes more efficient, saves travelling costs and opens up new opportunities to connect the real and digital worlds. Companies benefit from modernising their processes and creating innovative customer experiences - from online shops with virtual fitting rooms to designing prototypes in digital space.
