Augmented Reality Changing The Factory Landscape From PTC’s Room With A View
Solving a spatial problem
The goal here is to make the factory a spatial problem. "As humans, we are spatially empowered," Heun explains. "We have superpowers in our brain to understand space. Everyone has that. Every child has that. At the moment that you put the interaction with these factories into that space where they are, you literally could enable children to operate a factory. That is how easy it is."
Heun and his team have prototyped a tool that they are developing with Lego, and allowed children to program it successfully. "I told our chairman that although this is only a small Lego toy, it can also work for a big machine. The interface is the same.
"We expect more and more from our factories, or from the world that we live in. We made everything digital, and now we want to make the real world digital as well, but we don't have the right interface for that.
