Training, remote expertise and other AR / VR applications in the steel industry

Hi, my name is Denis Kolupaev and I am the head of the AR / VR development team at Severstal. In our company, virtual and augmented reality technologies began to be introduced at the initiative of the experts of the management for the development of new technologies of our R&D center in IT. It was not easy to explain to the bosses why it was necessary here, in the metallurgical production ... At first, our experiments with gaming devices and game engines were perceived with a certain skepticism, but after the first pilots doubts about the "professional suitability" of AR / VR were dispelled. I would like to share my experience in implementing these technologies, tell about our cases and conclusions. If you are wondering why Severstal employees need AR glasses and VR simulators, welcome to cat.
