Augmented & mixed reality

Extending reality

Perhaps you have seen it in a sci-fi film. The characters control holograms through movement and by giving speech commands. But in fact, this is no longer fiction. With the aid of augmented or mixed-reality applications, reality can already be extended today by holograms and other additional information. The potential uses are many. In daily work, particularly in the industrial environment, there are many use cases. With the aid of training apps, learners can gain new abilities without needing real objects for their work. For example, they can learn using a digital hologram and a Microsoft Hololens or a tablet, transferring the knowledge gained to a real object later. Holograms can also support work on real objects by superimposing additional information or providing step-by-step instructions. In addition, there is the option of gaining support from experts based across the world. Using video calls, a specialist can support a non-expert on site, even while working from their own office.
