OptoNet-Workshop · XR – From Concept to Application
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.
