Volvos uses management software from ArborXR, Connors said. “We can manage groups, indicate who’s got what device, where are they, is it up to date, is all the software already installed, do they need to have the application set. It’s been working out very well for us.”
At GE Aerospace, Sabo said the relationship with IT is critical when scaling up XR projects across a company’s operations. As soon as his team created its first successful piece of XR content they were under pressure to supply more.
“All of a sudden, there’s a lot more demand, and a lot of demand for, ‘Can you do it faster, and can you produce a lot more?’” he said. “Without having that close partnership with IT and understanding what our digital strategy was, we didn’t have a place to really start for scaling. So, we learned very quickly we had to bring those stakeholders in as well.”
