Augmented reality and virtual reality implementations are emerging across several sectors, thanks to their value in providing remote training and hands-free access to information.
The research that I am seeking focuses on the workspace. I have spoken directly about office spaces and professional jobs that obtain desks and computers. I have not discussed hands-on professional jobs such as factories, engineering, and construction type workspaces. All of these industries can benefit from VR and XR. In the article, it discusses how factories are using AR to more effectively train their employees. They mentioned how the AR training is proving to be more impactful than traditional training. For the runways at airports, engineers and operators are able to use XR as a way to make necessary repairs to planes or give directions to pilots without having to use the typical bulky computers that the engineers have to carry around to do diagnostics and access step by step instructions to fix the issues in a plane.
The virtual reality and extended reality technology goes beyond the office space and providing digital desks. It improves work performance and speeds up the execution of assignments for hands-on professionals. Like, think about how auto technicians, plumbers, and electricians could do with technology like this. It could potentially enhance their work experience and the quality of their work.
