Virtual reality (VR) has been around longer than you might think—more than half a century—but it’s only in the last few years that we’ve seen companies and researchers explore its practical applications for manufacturing.

In fact, there are many promising manufacturing applications for VR, including:

• Training
• Factory Planning
• Maintenance
• Automation
• Assembly

This eBook explores these applications, citing examples from the industry and academia.

You’ll learn about the actual and potential benefits VR can offer manufacturers today, with images, illustrations and a host of sources for further reading.
