xR in Design and Manufacturing

25th Feb 2021

Though xR technologies heralded a whole new way of interacting with product virtually, the reality is that to date it has largely been used as a marketing and retail gimmick.

Arguably, its long-term value in fact lies in the back end operation vs the front-end, and this spotlight endeavours to educate companies in its use-cases, in how you can begin to curate a roadmap for testing and deployment, and how best then to accelerate that functionality.
