TechBridge Ventura is based in Ventura California at the FATHOMWERX laboratory at the Port of Hueneme. FATHOMWERX was established in 2019 as a public-private consortium and resource for technical innovation and capability transition. FATHOMWERX includes 60,000 square feet of space focused on rapid innovation, disruption and audacious projects with support engagement, education, experimentation, and assessment, designed to connect operational stakeholders with technical subject matter experts who might assist in developing solutions to address operational needs. Through strategic partnerships within the region, programs conducted evaluate developing technologies against operational needs in the port and maritime domains, and suggest pathways for engagement, funding, collaboration and implementation.

technical paper

Want to fill your xR environments faster with accurate, true-to-life models? Why not leverage all the fantastic engineering data at your disposal for your AR applications! In this talk, we'll show you ways to leverage your designs from SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD data, as well as demonstrate some of the included AR/VR/XR capabilities available in the Dassault Systèmes portfolio.

Leveraging Engineering Data for XR Environments

The Virtual Environment for Research and Design Exploration (VERDE) is a Penn State ARL-developed Virtual Reality platform to support collaborative design and review of components and systems. From data translation to object placement to design review and walkthrough, the application has been built to support a seamless end-to-end workflow. The platform has been designed for collaboration such that multiple users at different geographic locations can participate in the design review within a shared virtual environment as long as they have access to a shared network via a hardware or software Virtual Private Network (VPN) client.

VERDE: Virtual Environment for Research and Design Exploration - From Concept to Prototype

OUSD(R&E)'s National Security Innovation Network is an unrivaled problem-solving network that adapts to the emerging needs of those who serve in the defense of our national security. We are dedicated to the work of bringing together defense, academic and entrepreneurial innovators to solve national security problems in new ways.

The focus of this talk will be an overview of the applied research and technology transition work that is being pursued at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia by the Advanced Data Acquisition, Prototyping Technologies, and Virtual Environments (ADAPT.VE) Lab in support of Machinery and Electrical In-Service Engineering applications.

Naval Machinery and Electrical System Applications

For the industrial worker over 17 years ago to improve worker safety, reduce costs, and accelerate service and efficiency. Learn how aerospace and defense organizations are leveraging Librestream's Onsight Augmented Reality Platform for informed decision making in the field, asset sustainment, prototyping and more. Hear how these organizations have deployed augmented reality tools to address challenges during the COVID-29 pandemic and how this will scale beyond. In this presentation, we will share specific use cases, benefits, requirements and deployment best practices for the defense industry. Onsight is Proven and battle tested, Onsight is the most widely deployed and used industrial AR platform on the market.

Operationalizing Augmented Reality Within Defense

Abstract: CACI XR (AR, VR, M&S, and AI) product solutions and services have evolved as industry and technology evolve. Our experience with innovative Cyber, Intelligence, NASA, DoD, and Federal agency XR products and solutions in deployed and secure environments provides lessons learned for industry, technology, and customers alike. 
CACI’s XR solutions leverage evolving commercial technologies to deliver products tailored to Federal Customer needs. Our experience deploying products in secure environments has revealed challenges in technology integration and in building partnerships between commercial industry and Federal agencies. 
Technology and solution providers collaborating with government must identify technical, organizational, and worker/workplace unique operating environment challenges. This collaboration enables improved requirements and strategic XR portfolio decisions to support mission enhanced solutions adoption, deployment, and lifecycle sustainability. 
Our role as a solutions integrator bridges these gaps, and we’re going to share some example projects and lessons-learned on how to successfully bring innovative products into the Government market space. CACI subject matter experts will present multiple HW/SW/Infrastructure/Environmental/ Design/Development/Implementation (Deployment) and Lifecycle successes and challenges past, present and potential (future). Our presentation will be designed to stimulate dialogue and knowledge sharing by exploring use cases, integration, and solution challenges encountered and mitigated.


XR Design & Implementation Challenges & Lessons Learned

The Extended Digital Thread (EDT) project in the MBE Program has recently explored research and standards opportunities in augmented reality (AR) for smart manufacturing systems (SMS). This presentation introduces our latest thinking behind trends in standards development for spatial representations in product systems with an emphasis on mixed reality (XR) application development. The presentation features (1) a solution for coordinating inspection data to design data through knowledge graphs, (2) concepts for porting this mapping within an AR environment, and (3) preliminary plans for conducting baseline measurements for asset tracking technologies. Fundamental to each of these concepts is standards. Standards are critical for harmonizing the latest XR development with SMS technologies at scale.

Facilitating Interoperability for Industrial XR through Standards Harmonization

An introduction to NavalX, its mission, and role in the DOD innovation ecosystem.

NavalX

NSWC PHD leads much of the sustainment efforts for Navy surface combat systems. In this role, we are responsible for many maintenance inputs including maintenance procedures, troubleshooting procedures and aids, tools, and testing. Augmented reality is a strategic technology for this community and for NSWC PHD. In recent years we have done several AR maintenance demonstrations, and now given the current state of the technology, our priority is shifting away from demonstrations and into content development and tech transition. Talk will cover collaborations with other WFCs (NSWC PD), collaboration with NIWC PAC (BEMR and RESTORE), and lessons learned from integrating virtual reality content into the training program of directed energy systems.

NSWC PHD AR and VR Use and Roadmap

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technology has a wide variety of possible uses and applications, which continue to grow regularly. Previously, this technology used crude computer-generated graphics, but with new technology, it now can be photorealistic. Photogrammetry is a technology which uses images to create 3D scans of objects and places, which are perfect for use in the training of law enforcement, public safety, and soldiers. The benefit is that the future experts can train and improve their skills remotely, and practice potentially hazardous tasks in a safe virtual environment.

RealityCapture is the go-to tool when it comes to the creation of content and assets for VR and AR. It offers best-in-class speeds for using images to create 3D scans of scenes and environments, and is not limited by the size of area, or amount of data.
