10 What do you expect from the Consumer Market? In your opinion, how does it influence the industry? 10

11 How can this be applied to PLM? Examples? Why? 11

12 VR Product Configurator Mercedes Me Store in Hamburg Design & Engineering Productplanning Productionplanning Production Sales Service Recycling 85 percent of new car buyers still make use of the classic dealership touchpoints, three-quarters of these customers are dissatisfied with the quality of their experience there real-time gaming technology to create a photorealistic interactive scenario real-time rendering on the basis of CAD data and information from PDM time required for project: a few weeks Source: 12

13 Source: Product Design & Engineering Collaboration in VR Design & Engineering Productplanning Productionplanning Production Sales Service Recycling Rapid presentation and testing of models in different (prepared) scenarios Photo-realistic presentation A collaborative VR space with multiple users (multi-user approach) Worldwide interaction with users in different locations Interaction with the VR model such as adding comments or voice notes 13

14 Product Design & Engineering BMW Mixed Reality Lab Design & Engineering Productplanning Productionplanning Production Sales Service Recycling Room-scale VR with an area of 5 x 5 metres Based on HTC Vive Merge between physical model and photorealistic virtual world More than 20 developer stations of this type(*) Can cheaply and quickly be updated with better and additional hardware, e.g. o New version of base stations (10 x 10 metres VR area) o Wireless HMD-Kit (TPCast,...) o Finger/Hand-capturing (Leap Motion,...) Based on Unreal(R) Game Development Platform / Engine Sources: (*)

27 A Quick Glance into the Future

28 The Future of Industrial xr ~ 5+ years xr will be the medium to reduce complexity, transport information, create content (in combination with other technologies, like Machine Learning) xr Authoring Plattforms and Pipelines will emerge That either interface or merge with current PLM systems (only way to scale) xr is all about software it will become device agnostic People will become more and more xr savy (like with smartphones today) There will be standards and best practices on how to interact with xr (heavily influenced by the consumer market) 29
