What is Virtual Reality (VR)?

Virtual reality is a technology where the user is completely separated from the real world and enters a virtual environment. VR is usually experienced with a VR headset or glasses, which are wearable devices. These devices affect the user's visual and auditory senses, allowing them to feel like they are in a completely virtual environment. The user can move around in the virtual reality world, interact with objects, and simulate manufacturing processes.

VR is useful in areas such as pre-production prototyping, training, assembly instructions, and worker training.

What is Augmented Reality (AR)?

Augmented reality is a technology that combines the real world with digital content. AR is usually experienced using devices such as smartphones, tablets, or special AR glasses. This technology perceives the real-world environment and overlays digital content on it. The user can interact with objects in the real world and receive visual and auditory information on the screen.

In manufacturing processes, AR can assist workers in areas such as real-time instructions, debugging, maintenance instructions, and data display. For example, a worker can directly view the assembly instructions of a product using augmented reality glasses, allowing them to complete the assembly process more quickly and accurately.

Virtual reality and augmented reality are innovative tools used to improve manufacturing processes. These technologies provide advantages in many areas such as worker training, prototyping, simulation, data visualization, debugging, and optimizing work processes. It also supports faster decision-making, reducing costs, and making manufacturing processes more efficient.
