12:00pm - 1:00pmLunch
1:00pm - 1:30pmAugmented Reality & Virtual Reality Applications for Digital Twins

AR/VR have readily apparent applications to digital twinning, but these applications present unique challenges that serve as a barrier to entry. At Sev1Tech, we have been working to make AR and VR technology an accessible integral part of our digital twin, not just an add-on.

This talk will cover the following use cases and challenges in integrating AR/VR technology into digital twins and how we have sought to remedy them with AR/VR:

-multi-modal interaction with users who do not have AR/VR devices

-quality assurance and training

-geolocation and geo-positioning

-passthrough AR versus overlay AR

Presenter: Nicholas Levergne, Software Developer, Sev1Tech
