Imagine the power of spatial computing in manufacturing such as stepping onto the factory floor without leaving your seat. Our expert panel will delve into real-world applications that are reshaping the industry. Picture engineers collaborating on a digital twin, a virtual replica of a production line, fine-tuning processes before a single machine is engaged. With immersive technologies like augmented reality, assembly workers receive step-by-step guidance overlaying their workspace, ensuring precision and efficiency.

Spatial computing is the catalyst for innovation in most industries, especially fields like manufacturing. Design teams dispersed across the globe can come together in a shared virtual space, shaping the next groundbreaking product. Augmented reality can assist technicians in real-time maintenance, reducing downtime and optimizing machinery performance. Prototypes can be perfected in a virtual environment before the first physical model is even crafted. AR and VR simulations offer a risk-free environment for learning complex tasks. Ranging from collaborative design to supply chain visualization, our program illuminates how spatial computing is reshaping manufacturing, making it more efficient, safer, and poised for the challenges of tomorrow.

Join us May 1st to explore how immersive technologies are revolutionizing training, maintenance, and quality control in ways that were once only imagined, now a tangible reality on the manufacturing floor.

The annual Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) showcases simulation, education, modeling and training technology for the exchange of information among industry, the military, and the educational communities. 

I/ITSEC consists of peer-reviewed paper presentations, tutorials, special events, professional workshops, a commercial exhibit hall, a serious games competition, and STEM events for teachers and secondary students. I/ITSEC is organized and sponsored by the National Training & Simulation Association (NTSA), which promotes international and interdisciplinary cooperation within the fields of modeling and simulation (M&S), training, education, analysis, and related disciplines at this annual meeting. The NTSA is an affiliate subsidiary of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA). Hence, I/ITSEC also emphasizes themes related to defense and security.
