Scope: Integrating Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) with Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) into industrial processes offers numerous benefits, ranging from the creation of highly realistic training environments to providing real-time guidance on complex processes, ultimately preventing errors and ensuring compliance. GAI supported VR can enhance collaboration among workers in different parts of the world by facilitating real-time interaction with shared digital objects. Furthermore, GAI and VR/AR can generate virtual prototypes, enabling engineers to visualize, test, and 3D print their designs before production. This accelerates the design process, reduces costs, and improves product quality. The workshop scope combines AI, VR, and AR to support predictive maintenance, operational optimization, and personalized employee training.
Aims: This workshop aims to bring together innovators, industry experts, and practitioners to showcase the latest industrial advances at the intersection of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI), Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR).
