Exten­ded Rea­lity (XR) is rapidly moving from vision to indus­trial rea­lity. Whe­ther in smart glas­ses, head up dis­plays, indus­trial assis­tance sys­tems or immersive visua­liza­tion, XR tech­no­lo­gies are crea­ting new requi­re­ments for opti­cal com­pon­ents, dis­play tech­no­lo­gies, sens­ing, metro­logy and sca­lable manufacturing.

This Opto­Net work­shop brings tog­e­ther experts from indus­try and rese­arch to dis­cuss the full pho­to­nic value chain behind modern XR sys­tems, from human per­cep­tion and opti­cal design to com­po­nent tech­no­lo­gies, qua­lity assu­rance and indus­trial production.
