Industrial Metaverse

From fascination to productive use

There is a lot of talk about the potential of the industrial metaverse, but for many companies, the concrete benefits often remain unclear. This event closes precisely this gap. Using practical examples, methods and tools of the industrial metaverse are presented that can solve current problems in companies. Participants have the opportunity to interactively experience their own product and process data on various VR and AR systems: “Bring Your Own Data.”

Industrial Metaverse – just a buzzword? Not for us. In this half-day deep dive, the Fraunhofer IAO research team will show how companies can already put digital twins, collaborative development and problem solving, and data-driven process optimization to productive use today.

1. Insights into industrial practice and research

Industrial users provide insights into current usage scenarios. Solution providers demonstrate how to successfully integrate industrial metaverse methods into business processes. Researchers from Fraunhofer IAO report on the latest developments, including collaboration in the industrial metaverse.

2. Bring Your Own Data

Participants have the opportunity to experience their own products, design, or production data live in collaborative XR environments.

3. Cutting-Edge Multiviewer Technology

Participants gain insight into the new CoLEDWall++, the world's first LED-based VR environment for four independent users.

4. Hardware, software, and integration

The experts at Fraunhofer IAO shed light on open standards and security aspects and show how APIs enable seamless connection to existing IT landscapes.

5. Discussion and exchange

In a moderated expert exchange, participants learn how to get started, what skills are required, and what budgets companies should calculate. Participants are welcome to bring their own problems with them – the more specific, the better!
