Overview

This module aims to describe some of the functions of AR and VR technologies in Industry 4.0 systems. These technologies enable us to rapidly prototype products, inspect their ergonomic aspects, as well as the production processes at a much lower cost with better cognitive aspects than the more traditional methods. In this module we explore methods and tools for product development and factory planning using AR and VR with possibilities of hands-on experience with some of the tools. Finally, the module will include webinars where students will be able to discuss the concepts that they have explored and learned in order to apply them in real-world settings.
