Scope of extended reality in mechanical engineering : virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality

Abstract

With rapid development of technologies in the world, Extended Reality which includes Virtual reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) is a transforma-tive technology with vast potential across various domains. In Mechanical engineering has various application such as in design, manufacturing, training, teaching and maintenance process. In this thesis the research begins with an overview of XR technology but is more con-centrated on applications with AR in mechanical engineering.
