AUGMENTED REALİTY (AR) AND VİRTUAL REALİTY (VR)
One of the biggest technology trends brought by Industry 4.0 with digitalization is Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. These technologies, which are not limited to the field of games and entertainment, are now of great importance in production. So what are Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality? What are the benefits it provides in production? Let's examine it together.
AUGMENTED REALITY (AR)
Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that provides a real-time experience by adding virtual objects integrated with real entities in a computer-generated imaginary world. By using Augmented Reality applications like a mobile application, you can see all computer-generated data in the real world.
VIRTUAL REALITY (VR)
Virtual reality (VR) is an immersive experience in which the real-life environment is transferred to the simulation environment. It is an immersive technology that creates 3D digital images and videos to create true visual experiences for users.
Augmented Reality technology is not the same as Virtual Reality.
Augmented Reality is a specially prepared application that provides real-time animation with a headset or mobile device camera sensors, not as a simulation unlike Virtual Reality. In this way, augmented reality applications can be used like a mobile application. However, in virtual reality, equipment that will cover your entire field of vision and control what you hear is needed. In this way, the person is completely isolated from the real world and finds himself in the fascinating environment of a virtual world. The designed objects are transferred to the area seen by the person using the augmented reality, thereby strengthening the perception of the person.
BENEFITS OF AUGMENTED REALITY AND VIRTUAL REALITY IN PRODUCTION
Efficiency in production, low error rate, uninterrupted and rapid progress of production are very important in the manufacturing industry. Augmented Reality applications ensure uninterrupted production speed and increase productivity. Thanks to augmented reality, you can see the parts of the equipment on mobile devices and easily find where the machines are faulty without touching them with bare hands. In this way, both worker safety is ensured and errors are easily detected. In addition, manufacturers and engineers can choose an item they want using IoT technology and get information support. This allows problems to be resolved quickly. With Augmented Reality applications, you can now create your own system without any service. In short, manufacturers can easily access everything used in production, from object properties to delivery times, inventory information, and machine features, thanks to Augmented Reality.
