Ori Inbar, Co-founder and Executive Director of AWE and Super Ventures will kick off the 4th AWE EU with a special welcome address and his annual state of the industry.



For 50 years, computing has been a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional world.



Now, tech giants and thousands of startups who are seeking growth opportunities beyond mobile have set spatial computing on a trajectory for exponential growth. Most large corporations are adopting spatial computing to improve their businesses driven by strong evidence it delivers measurable ROI, and consumers begin to appreciate the radical benefits of this technology which could signal the next dimension of humanity. In 2019, everyone must enter the next dimension to understand the impact it’s bound to have on their lives and businesses.

50% of companies globally are experiencing skilled worker shortage to meet current service demands, and 70% of field service orgs face knowledge loss due to retiring workers in the next 5-10 years. Lenovo’s Commercial AR/VR Lead, Nathan Pettyjohn, will discuss the importance of creating scalable AR solutions within the workforce that improve training and worker productivity. Lenovo will showcase the ThinkReality software platform and ThinkReality A6 augmented reality headset and how it can be used within manufacturing, warehouse, energy, mining, gas and oil environments to optimize your business. Industry challenges and key solution use cases will be explored including remote expert, logistics and workflow compliance, and 3D visualization for design collaboration, all which are expected to transform workforce training and productivity. Additional topics include:

Building, managing and deploying solutions in an agnostic hardware device environment for both augmented reality and virtual reality

How long term IOT and 5G strategies should be considered within enterprise AR/VR deployments

Public Cloud, Private Cloud and On-Premise Considerations in AR and VR Enterprise Deployments

Description

PLM systems such as Siemens Teamcenter are the beating heart of most industrial powerhouses in their ability to serve all aspects of the value chain from design to production. Why should this be any different for AR? For the first time RE’FLEKT and Siemens will present together how the Siemens PLM structure can now be used to make AR content at any stage of the PLM information flow. We will show how AR connects to existing enterprise systems and how it works – naturally with a special inside look at Siemens Teamcenter. Together we will also give exclusive insights to what is next for Siemens users as well as what else to expect from the growing RE’FLEKT Enterprise OS.

Description

Effectively deploying digital continuity solutions such as AR-guided operator solutions require the right combination of applications highly adapted to specific needs and constraints, of hardware implementation (projection, head-mounted displays like the HoloLens, tablets, mobiles, desktop workstation, IoS, Android, Windows…) and of data use and exploitation (PLM and CAD data, field data…). Besides, effectively deploying digital continuity solutions with an optimal ROI more and more assumes the right combination of various technologies into integrated solutions (simulation, IoT, robotics, AR/MR, AI…). Last but not least, effectively deploying digital continuity solutions always requires that players from various profiles (industrial companies, integrators, engineering consultants…) may effectively collaborate for industry-fitted solutions. In this presentation, Diota will share its experience in deploying real use cases taking into account all these key points and will explain how to effectively success.

Description

In the past, numerous use cases have been piloted to demonstrate the potential of XR for business applications. An example of this is the VR product configurator, in which customers can already experience products virtually in order to make a purchase decision. Such applications are usually associated with a large hardware investment and built statically. But how do the future services reach the mobile customer? Which business models are promising and what are the requirements for a successful rollout? We want to discuss these aspects in the panel with the experts from the different areas and thereby shed light on the way from service to customer.

At AWE 2019 in Santa Clara, Volvo Cars and Varjo announced their cooperation in development of one of the most advanced use cases for XR that has been achieved, driving a real car on the road with the human-eye resolution headset XR-1 from Varjo. The world leading performance in terms of resolutions, latency and eye-tracking of the XR-1 headset makes it possible to overlay digital content on the video pass-through video stream in order to evaluate new design and functions of new cars during development. The overlaid virtual content is connected to the signals from the physical car, which enables interaction with all vehicle functions while driving. This talk will take you through the journey of development of the Augmented Reality Car and give insights in the technical challenges that has been resolved both by Varjo and Volvo Cars. It will also present how this new tool is used for advanced use cases like active safety, design reviews and technology development at Volvo Cars.
