Extended Reality (XR) is no longer just a futuristic concept—it’s a practical tool reshaping the way engineers design, train, and operate. In this session, Anna Burke, Managing Director of Animated Technologies, will explore how VR, AR, and mixed reality are transforming engineering tasks, from visualising complex designs and training teams safely in high-risk environments, to improving maintenance, collaboration, and stakeholder communication. Drawing on real-world case studies, Anna will highlight the tangible benefits XR brings—reducing costs, increasing safety, and speeding up processes—while offering insights into how engineers can start using immersive technologies to solve challenges today and prepare for tomorrow.
