Engineers and technical experts association SAE International will host a new symposium – the 'SAE 2012 Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) Technologies Symposium' – that focuses on the technical, economic and implementation aspects of AR and VR. This is the first event of its kind to showcase the collaboration of AR and VR for improved production and manufacturing.
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) software and hardware continue to grow and be utilised in all facets of design and manufacturing. Independently, they can both improve various aspects of design and manufacturing. But utilising them together can play a significant role in getting product to market faster, safer and cheaper.
The symposium will be held November 13-14, 2012, at the Doubletree Hotel in Dearborn, Mich.
The event will explore moving AR and VR technologies from the lab to the production floor for improved manufacturing productivity. Attendees will learn about the challenges practitioners are facing today. In addition, the symposium will feature workshops focusing on head tracking, transitioning from a lab environment to production, CAD model geometry/configuration controls of geometry; and expert representation from all three industry sectors - automotive, aerospace and commercial vehicle.
