Augmented Reality (AR) in advanced manufacturing in Lombardy

As a leader for industrial imaging, Canon has developed a system to capture 3D content with the goal of simplifying the entire stereoscopic acquisition process by enabling users to develop immersive content for virtual reality solutions. This, integrated with AR, could allow to work hands-free, without having supporting paper documents and communications, strongly increasing task efficiency and effectiveness. TeamViewer is working in this direction as well, using smart glasses to control, manage and repair machines and components. This solution has been implemented in different applications: in the automotive sector for manual assembly, in logistics activities for sorting envelopes and packages and for the training of workers for the assembly of luxury watches.
