About the session

On 30 January 2019 the IET, along with the High Value Manufacturing Catapult (HVMC) and Immerse UK hosted the third annual Applied Visualisation Forum at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon.

The event brought together engineers, practitioners, researchers and technology providers from across various industry sectors to share expertise and best practice.

The focus this year was around the digital twin, a virtual model of a physical product, process, system or service. Attendees also gained knowledge and understanding of recent hardware and software advances and how applying virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), data capture and analytics can be beneficial for business.

The day will also focus on roadmapping activities which are critical to bringing industrial relevance to the direction of HVM Catapult R&D, and will both help to shape the HVM Catapult research strategy, in the field of applied visualisation.
