Industries: Specific Cases Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) have wide-ranging applications across various industries.
Below are some specific cases:
- AR in Industrial Manufacturing: AR technology is adopted in the wiring harness assembly of the Boeing 787. By using HoloLens 2 and a custom SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithm, the error rate is reduced by 50% and efficiency is increased by 30%. On-site engineers can also wear AR glasses: AI is used to identify faulty parts of equipment, the system invokes industry-specific large models to translate technical documents in real time and present the content via voice or subtitles. When encountering complex issues, they can connect with remote experts for assistance.
- - AR in Digital Cultural Tourism and Exhibition Industry: By combining BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) Beacons with AI, when users approach an exhibit in a showroom, the AR application automatically triggers a virtual explanation. The script for the explanation is dynamically generated by LLM (Large Language Model), and multi-language switching is supported. For example, in the AR guide system of a museum, when a visitor asks, "What is the historical background of this painting?", the system parses the question in real time and answers it in the form of a virtual guide, creating an immersive interactive experience.
- - VR in Healthcare Industry: VR technology can be used for doctor training and patient treatment. Doctors can practice in a VR-simulated complex surgical environment to improve their skills. In psychotherapy and rehabilitation therapy, VR can be used to create virtual environments to help patients relax or undergo exposure therapy.
- - VR in Education Industry: VR-based surgical training for medical students is a typical application case. VR surgical scenarios are built using NeRF (Neural Radiance Fields) and professional modeling materials. AI analyzes the trainees' operations in real time, and GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) generates personalized comments and guidance. Trainees can ask questions during the training, and the system provides instant answers. This combines theoretical teaching with immersive training, enhancing learning efficiency.
- - MR in Industrial Manufacturing: During the production line debugging phase, enterprises can first build a digital twin model of the production line. Engineers wear MR headsets to simulate equipment installation, material flow, and personnel operations in a virtual environment. This allows them to test efficiency under different production rhythms and identify problems in advance. For instance, when BMW designs a new car model, designers wear VR headsets to enter a virtual environment, where they can simulate the sitting posture and field of vision of drivers with different heights. There is no need to create physical prototypes, resulting in a 30% reduction in the design cycle and a 25% decrease in R&D costs.

- MR in Architecture and Engineering Industry: In architectural design and engineering construction, MR can help designers and engineers demonstrate and simulate the future state of a building. Through virtual walkthroughs, clients and project managers can clearly visualize the design plan before construction begins, and make timely adjustments and optimizations. This significantly improves the project's visualization capabilities and reduces misunderstandings and errors in the design and construction processes.
