Deployment in various industry verticals
Like most new technologies, XR technology will go through the three stages of To G, To B, and To C. In the early stage of industrial applications, use cases in industrial remote control, education, medical, and entertainment are the most important. For industrial use cases, remote maintenance can greatly reduce the cost of communication and achieve sharing of resources. Currently, Xvisio is working with Alibaba, Baidu and other institutions to deepen the collaboration in related fields. For medical industry, spatial positioning, digital twinning, and virtual-real integration are use cases for Xvisio solutions. Currently, Xvisio is collaborating with top medical institutions to develop the application of AR glasses technology in ophthalmology, oral cavity, orthopedics, and other medical scenarios.
