augmented reality

VR provides an immersive and cost-effective approach to essential oilfield training.

Augmented reality is gaining momentum in monitoring hazardous environments such as oil rigs remotely. With advances in sensors, video processing, machine learning, and deep neural networks all rendered into eyewear, there is an opportunity for enterprises to leverage this technology.

When the world reopens, it will be flooded with the opportunities and tools that extended-reality platforms have to offer.

More energy and engineering companies participate in second Industrial VR/AR Forum.

Industrial augmented reality (AR) takes several forms. The holy grail—and eventually prevalent format—is headworn AR, where visualization software is installed on AR glasses such as Microsoft’s HoloLens. Nearer-term deployments also include smartphone- or tablet-based AR.

The Israeli company has developed augmented-reality solutions that enable field technicians in energy and other industries to avert disasters such as BP's Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

This digital deal is helping to make augmented reality a new reality for oil and gas operations.

Wearable computers are turning heads in the oil and gas industry and appear to be on a trajectory for widespread adoption.
