Augmented Reality helps us tell a better story. It erases the line between imagination and the real world and opens the doors for new possibilities. With immersive devices becoming more accessible, the focus is not how we interact with these objects, but rather what it takes to create these objects. Investing too much time in modeling something that already exists in the real world can be a nightmare. With 3D scanning, this process is quick and precise. Discover the benefits of Creaform&#39;s metrology grade solutions and how they can be used to speed up asset creation for your AR applications.

technical paper

3D technologies have always chased the ultimate dream of an experience that is indistinguishable from reality. We've made huge strides with a variety of stereoscopic technologies ranging from glasses and HMD-based designs to autostereoscopic displays, and we've even seen the emergence of early light field technologies. But each of these has shortcomings, and the ultimate solution is much closer than most people realize.

This talk focuses on the state of play in holographic technology, the expected evolution of the technology in the next 3-5 years, and how this applies to the defense community, the broader commercial community, and ultimately the consumer space.

Holographic Displays: The Final Frontier of XR

In order to create and explore simulations of the world that are valuable for training and operations, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality technologies need geospatial precision and global scale. The rise of sensors and unmanned platforms has produced an explosion of 3D geospatial data that can make simulations unbelievably realistic and current - but how do we get all that data into the picture and produce an environment with the performance users expect? With an open, web-enabled approach to 3D graphics, data optimized for streaming with Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards, and an API made for open integration, anyone can take the most detailed models of our world and see them all at any scale. With this approach, Cesium allows developers and users to make all kinds of 3D geospatial data quickly and easily useful for mission critical visualization and analysis.

Enabling 3D Geospatial for AR/VR

3D scanning has revolutionized manufacturing and maintenance activities with the fastest cycle time and highest resolution data available on the market today. ARIS Technology streamlined these activities by providing an end-to-end robotic 3D scanning solution to automate the currently manual inspection process. To further enhance the ease of use of the system, ARIS has partnered with government and commercial partners to research and develop Mixed Reality (MR) goggles-based user-interface (UI) for intuitive operator programming of robot motions for 3D scanning. MR robotic programming greatly reduces the cost of operator training, fixturing, and digital twinning. This programming also allows ARIS to build agile and reconfigurable robotic systems that can 3D scan and inspect small component parts to large ships. We will present our learnings from MR R&D, use cases, industry trends, and our thoughts on how MR will continue to revolutionize robotic programming in the 3D scanning process.

Mixed Reality (MR) with Robotic Automation for Quality Inspection & Maintenance

The RC-135 Rivet Joint Virtual Trainer allows Airmen to accomplish familiarization and crew position checklist training sans the aircraft. This VR Digital Twin acts as a Virtual Trainer for the 55th Wing and allows airmen to conduct free-roaming training by interacting with over 3,000 virtual interactive objects. Users interact with the environment through physical interactions that mimic the real world motions airmen use on the actual RJ. The application of the RJ Virtual Trainer holds the distinction as being the first VR sim to be cleared for training in lieu of real-world “On Aircraft” training in the US Air Force. The Sim design supports more training than what is currently offered via “Hard-coded training.” The sim also features a “Facilitator Light” mode which allows a facilitator to monitor and adjust training on the fly. The Sim will have multiplayer functionality in Q2 2021 allowing for more realistic group training scenarios/exercises and training throughput.

Learn about the unique microfluidic technology in HaptX Gloves and how defense customers have successfully applied it.

Realistic Touch Improves Virtual Training and Telepresence

The building process, especially in the industrial design, requires many iterations and team works, which is nowadays disrupted by health restrictions. Furthermore, market increasingly request for complex design in shorter times. 
Real-time technologies like Virtual and Augmented Reality as well as Cloud infrastructure and 5G can help accelerating the design and training process, generating a sizeable Return On Investment. This presentation explains these technologies, backed by real-life industry case studies.

Competitive CAD design and production with VR and CLOUD collaboration

Abstract: First responders (FR) need every advantage during fleeting life critical moments, and SMART cyber-physical systems (CPS) provide critical information for time-sensitive events. Wireless real-time convergence of building information modeling, interfacing of 3D data through machine to machine and machine to human analytics exchange, bio-telemetry monitoring of victims and responders will save lives. Auto-populated, legacy, and real-time remote sensed point clouds would allow FR personnel and their commanders to intelligently and visually understand their environments during the response. Mixed physics computational fluid dynamic programs allow for predictive outputs in structure and wildland fires, hazardous materials releases, and other natural and human-initiated events. Technical rescues and high life hazards will benefit SMART Cities, IoT, remote sensing, virtual, augmented, and mixed realities. The unconscious patient will be treated via facial recognition software, allowing responders to know their medical history. Complimentary real-time field communications will be transmitted to base hospital trauma surgeons-in 3D. The SMART FR- during the response, mitigation, and post-incident analysis will view emergencies through 3D projected light and holographic displays and immersive HUD lenses. The multi-sensor fusion enabled technology is focused on saving civilian lives and empowering responders.

Mixed Reality - a Suite of SMART solutions

Applications of model-based systems engineering (MBSE), particularly 3D models, are greatly improving the integration and execution of logistics engineering and management functions for complex systems. 3D models provide logistics engineers with the ability to navigate digital environments to perform analysis of maintenance and operations envelopes, equipment pathways (intermediate and depot maintenance driven), and confirmation of logistics requirement compliance prior to equipment selection and design baselining. Additionally, 3D models provide logistics managers, maintenance planners, and the training enterprise with data-rich, interactive environments where users may access complete logistics technical data from authoritative sources and determine system response to configuration changes while exploring models at multiple levels of system indenture.

Leveraging 3D Models for Logistics Engineering and Management Functions

VisionLib is a software development kit for tracking and augmenting 3D objects. Unlike HoloLens holograms which float in space, and ARkit / ARcore AR content that sticks to the ground, VisionLib AR content sticks precisely to complex objects like vehicles and machines. This enables a variety of valuable use-cases such as training, maintenance, and manufacturing.
