Abstract
This report is intended as a practical introduction guide to help organisations with the process of trying extended reality- technologies by introducing the technologies, giving examples of what these technologies can be used for and providing two tools for managing XR initiatives in organisations. It contains a brief definition and provides examples of use and outlines a model for organisations to use when introducing XR technologies in their organisation. In the appendixes a list of current XR systems and development systems are provided to help users understand the practical differences and better navigate in the jungle of equipment offered.
The report originated from the "Nullfeil i Autonome produksjonssystem" (NAP) project where technology was developed for zero defect manufacturing within the fields of automation and autonomy. Various technological systems were analysed as to how they could be used to provide information to the shop floor operators, but in the end XR was not chosen as the preferred tool in that particular project. However, an effort on analysing XR systems had been done and this report was finalised as part of our strategic effort for the "Digitally Enhanced Worker "at SINTEF.
