•	Providers (of AR solutions) 
•	Non-commercial entities (Universities, public research institutes and agencies)


This webinar presents a unified research program on next-generation Augmented Reality (AR) task guidance, focusing on adaptive instruction, spatial task segmentation, and hierarchical non-linear workflows. Built on three core systems—focus-aware AR playback, location-based task segmentation, and a dependency-aware guidance framework—the talk shows how AR can sense user attention, interpret task context, and dynamically adapt instructions. Empirical results from controlled studies reveal how gaze and location cues reduce errors, speed attention recovery, and improve review efficiency in multi-location tasks, pointing to scalable, intelligent AR training for real-world environments.

The session also introduces the Bichronous XR Collaboration Framework, which combines asynchronous task review with synchronous real-time correction. Using 3D Action Cues—event-driven spatio-temporal bookmarks—remote experts can quickly spot errors in recorded actions and move into live sessions for targeted support. Study results show this approach cuts task time and cognitive load compared to traditional 2D video.

Attendees will learn:
• How gaze and location tracking enable adaptive AR task guidance
• How spatial behavior supports non-linear playback and faster retrieval
• How dependency-aware workflow models support complex procedures
• Design principles for deploying adaptive AR in industrial training
• How bichronous workflows and 3D Action Cues improve remote assistance

AREA Research Webinar | Adaptive AR Guidance and Bichronous XR for Next-Gen Training

Adam Davis, Founder and CEO of Amalgamated Vision (AV), will present AV’s groundbreaking AR display technology. AV’s approach uses monocular ultra-near-to-eye positioning and a novel optical design that delivers digital content naturally without waveguides or other structural elements that obscure normal vision.

AV’s patented microprojector enables all-day wearable contextual AI at the edge, providing users with critical information exactly when and where it’s needed. The U.S. Air Force and NASA are funding early-stage development to explore applications such as aircraft maintenance and remote medical guidance—environments where dense data and continuous situational awareness are essential. The compact monocular display meets these demands while fitting discreetly behind standard eyewear lenses, paving the way for practical, everyday AR headsets.

A central concept is binocular rivalry, the brain’s ability to blend a monocular digital overlay with the real world. AV’s hardware leverages this physiological phenomenon to reduce cognitive load and minimize the social friction of conventional waveguide smart glasses.

This session is essential for business and technology leaders exploring:

How ultra-near-to-eye display differs from waveguide and birdbath systems.
The visual processes that enhance comfort and focus for extended use.
Why non-occluding optics matter for frontline operations.
The advantages of lightweight, low-power engines for AI-at-the-edge applications.
What USAF and NASA funding reveals about future AR deployment paths.

AREA Webinar | Reinventing AR User Experience: A Conversation with Amalgamated Vision

Studies of AR-guided tasks are vital for developers to adopt effective techniques that boost productivity and reduce errors. However, many studies use simple tasks with non-professionals in lab settings, which do not reflect real industrial environments or the actual workforce. 
The University of Cambridge Cyber-Human Lab (CHL), led by Dr. Thomas Bohné, is addressing this by measuring how research settings impact participant behavior and effectiveness, aiming for more reliable user study outcomes.

One CHL project compared AR-guided manual assembly in lab and real workplace environments. The team developed AR systems for manual assembly, increasing task complexity, and compared results from participants—recruited from MakeUK’s apprenticeship program and representing the target industrial workforce—in both settings.

Another CHL project examined how computer vision-based error detection affects different user groups during manual assembly. The study looked at the balance between too many alerts (causing fatigue) and too few (leading to mistakes), focusing on how prediction errors in AR assembly guides influenced task performance and user perception. Three groups were studied: novices, manufacturing experts, and AR/VR experts, to see how experience levels affected their responses.

Webinar attendees will learn best practices for AR user studies, how user perception compares to actual performance, other CHL research achievements, and future research directions for AR in the workplace. The webinar is designed for enterprise AR project managers, architects, developers, and platform providers.

AREA Research Webinar - Measuring the impacts of AR-Guided Assembly: Lab or Workplace Setting?

Robots are increasingly tasked with navigating environments and manipulating objects, requiring careful movement planning to avoid collisions and ensure safety—especially when humans share the space. To reduce ground congestion and incidents, flying drones can complement ground robots, but their indoor movements also demand precise planning. 

Key considerations for drone path planning include safety, privacy, and minimizing disturbances such as noise or airflow. Defining virtual avoidance or permission zones for user-controlled drones is a valuable feature that can be integrated into their path planning. AR and VR displays have long enhanced drone operations by visualizing camera feeds and flight paths, especially when drones are out of direct sight. 

Researchers at the University of Southern Denmark have explored XR (extended reality) for drone path planning. An ISMAR2024 paper presents user testing results comparing handheld AR and head-worn XR headsets for planning drone tasks. The study involved developing XR applications in Unity, allowing users to perform planning tasks similar to those on desktop computers but within immersive XR interfaces.

This webinar, led by the research team, will introduce technologies for indoor robot and drone path planning using XR and present their findings. Topics include: how XR path planning considers both physical and virtual objects; the development and evaluation of the AR/XR applications; how interaction with virtual objects can improve or complicate drone path planning; and future research directions.

Attendees will gain insights into automated and manual indoor path planning for robots using AR/XR, and results from user studies comparing handheld AR and head-worn XR devices.

Visual Positioning Systems Unveiled: What Every Enterprise Needs to Know Now

Demonstrating robust technical data handling at the scale of complex product systems remains a challenge.  Causes include 

(i) the distributed-ness of production systems, 
(ii) a disconnect between the formal development of design requirements and the generation of downstream data, 
(iii) lack of interoperability of computer-supported tools through the production lifecycle, 
(iv) lack of adherence to industrial standards, and 
(v) data rights and access protocols, to name a few.  

For decades, researchers across industry, government, and academia have advocated for holistic standards-based approaches for supporting intra-organizational data exchange for complex product systems.  Although there has been considerable progress, large-scale demonstrators that span both large (sub-)assemblies and organizations are significantly lacking.  In response, Air Force ManTech has recently invested in several related projects that aim to push the bounds of data exchange for linking design, manufacturing, inspection, and sustainment activities.  

Project goals include 
(i) content authoring at scale for industrial augmented reality (AR), 
(ii) data linking to support large-scale assembly, and 
(iii) semantic reasoning at scale with manufacturing data.  

This webinar will present progress of these efforts and highlight the developing partnerships across government and industry that will be key to the programs' successes.  We will also cover a recent meta-review that establishes some key research opportunities and future directions for improving the scalability of Industrial AR for Manufacturing through interoperability.

Attendees will gain insights into: 
* Standards-driven digital threads and the relevance to scalable augmented reality
* AR use cases in manufacturing quality control and assurance
* Current status of interoperability challenges for manufacturing

Unlocking XR Data: How ArborXR Insights Transforms Enterprise Training

In Augmented Reality (AR), the vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC) is a significant challenge. This conflict arises when the fixed distance of a display’s image plane does not match the distance at which a user is focusing, leading to conflicting visual cues, increased eye fatigue, and reduced performance. 

Many display designs try to reduce VAC by enhancing the contrast of objects in focus, but they often rely on imprecise eye tracking or exist only as large, benchtop prototypes.

To overcome these limitations while keeping the design wearable and effective over a wide range of viewing distances, Christoph and the TU Graz research team have developed dynamic multilayer mixed reality displays. These displays combine the strengths of layered and varifocal technologies, using eye tracking to align the display layers with the user’s current focus point. 

By shifting the active viewing zone based on where the user is looking, this approach helps compensate for inaccuracies in focus distance estimation and supports a large workspace.

In this webinar, Christoph will review his previous research on dynamic multilayer displays, showcasing the concept with three wearable prototypes that each highlight a unique aspect of the Mixed Reality Spectrum. Constructed with standard components, these prototypes also feature novel algorithms - from methods that generate images at various focus levels to real-time computation of display patterns. Finally, he will discuss future research directions and the potential for integrating these systems into commercial AR solutions.

Attendees will gain insights into: 

* How layered mixed reality displays address the vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC), 
* How the prototypes are being implemented in commercial solutions, and 
* How the inventions have stimulated work in the TU Graz lab as well as in other groups, and 
* When the technological approach described in the webinar will be available for use in enterprise use cases.

Tracking the movement of a camera or capture rig while simultaneously mapping the environment is a crucial requirement to enable digital reconstruction and overlay of assets in Augmented and Virtual Reality.  This problem is formally described as dense Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). Current SLAM methods are often hampered by the way they represent a scene. 

What Will Be Covered

Nikhil introduces SplaTAM, an approach that leverages explicit volumetric representations, i.e., 3D Gaussians, to enable high-fidelity reconstruction from a single unposed RGB-D camera, surpassing the capabilities of existing methods.

SplaTAM employs a simple online tracking and mapping system tailored to the Gaussian representation. It utilizes a silhouette mask to elegantly capture the presence of scene density. This combination enables several benefits over prior volumetric representations, including fast rendering and optimization, determining if areas have been previously mapped, and structured map expansion by adding more Gaussians. 

Nikhil will demonstrate SplaTAM’s up to 2X superior performance in camera pose estimation, map construction, and novel-view synthesis over existing methods, paving the way for more immersive high-fidelity SLAM applications.

Nikhil will present concepts of 3D Gaussian Splatting and how it can be used to reconstruct a scene in an online fashion. The webinar will share the research results, which were performed in collaboration with researchers at CMU and MIT, and published in a peer-reviewed conference (CVPR 2024).
