Virtual Reality Is Coming to Manufacturing - Are You Ready?

You’ve heard all the hype about virtual reality with the upcoming launch of PlayStation’s VR, but did you ever consider what this new technology means outside the gaming world? Believe it or not, virtual reality and augmented reality both have a wide range of applications in manufacturing, touching everything from design to assembly. Companies like Google are working on developing virtual and augmented reality technology applications for many industries. Virtual and augmented reality can take many diverse forms and as we see this technology starts to show up in our design labs and on our factory floors, our preconceived notions about what it is will shift, resulting in even wider use.
