Accept Snooze Pass ! ! Mark Stowe Chief technology officer at Theorem Solutions “Every industry designs its products using CAD to create 3D models viewed on a 2D screen. The required interpretation from 2D to 3D to provide context at scale, psychologists call the ‘cognitive gap’. Being able to visualise their 3D design data loaded into a real-world environment, using the Theorem-XR suite and Microsoft HoloLens, helps manufacturing and service engineers to close the cognitive gap; leveraging the strengths of 3D CAD assets at scale, in context, and in support of IoT processes. For example, one of our customers – Valiant TMS – uses HoloLens and Theorem- XR to load a factory assembly line, sourced from a 3D CAD assembly, onto the shop floor. This enables engineers to visualise, walk through or interact collaboratively with colleagues, customers and remote workers from all over the globe – a totally new way to consume and work with 3D design data. Valiant TMS chose the Microsoft HoloLens and Theorem-XR to create holographic models as part of its merged reality and IIoT concept. Its focus is on design, build and integration of automation equipment and specialised manufacturing technologies.”
