Advances and convergence in science, technology, and digital capabilities are transforming what can be done by whom or what, where, when, how fast, how well and how safely. This is reshaping the environment we operate in, offering advantages, new directions, and new options for business and operating models.
Spatial computing capabilities like augmented reality (AR) using connected, wearable, hands-free and voice enabled computers are no longer a trope and gee-whiz of science fiction but reality and a commercial business tool. They provide for more operationally efficient and profitable ways of delivering services and products, as well as opportunities for new services and products, through at-line, in-line, and on-line applications.
This talk will briefly describe the current status of AR systems, the why, user and customer experiences arising from using AR to deliver an audit program, and what’s coming up in the development of the technology.
