Overview

The eXtended Reality (XR) technologies have been applied to a wide range of industries and occupational areas for maintenance, quality control, training, education, remote collaboration, etc. The industries can benefit from XR by providing their employees with timely and efficient instructions. The users can improve their work performance while reducing mental and physical workload through effective XR systems. However, as workplace conditions become diverse, the XR technologies should be adaptive and innovative to meet the new industrial needs. Furthermore, as XR applications supporting industrial and occupational tasks include physical movements and activities, it is necessary to perform a variety of assessments from ergonomics and physiological perspectives.

This workshop—eXtended Reality for Industrial and Occupational Supports (XRIOS)—aims to identify the current state of XR research and the gaps in the scope of human factors and ergonomics, mainly related to the industrial and occupational tasks, and discuss potential future research directions. XRIOS will build a community that bridges XR developers, human factors, and ergonomics researchers interested in industrial and occupational applications.

Keynote Speakers

Robert W. Lindeman
(Director of the HIT Lab NZ, University of Canterbury)

Comfortable VR: Supporting Regular and Long-term Immersion

Abstract:

In this talk, I will first give a brief overview of the HIT Lab NZ at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. I will then talk about my continuing research efforts at supporting long-term immersion, what I call "Comfortable VR." This work is supported by a five-year, NZ\$7.7m grant from the NZ government (the Applied Immersive Gaming Initiative, or AIGI) to accelerate the development and transfer of AIG techniques and processes into the NZ commercial sector to make a positive impact.

Bio:

Prof Robert W. Lindeman (Rob) is Director of the Human Interface Technology Lab NZ (HIT Lab NZ) at the University of Canterbury, and has been doing research in the field of VR since 1993. His work focuses on immersive, multi-sensory feedback systems for VR, AR, gaming, and long-term VR immersion research. He is particularly interested in non-fatiguing, non-sickness-inducing and worry-free experiences. He has also done significant work on the effective use of 360-degree video for science outreach, including work in Antarctica. He was General Chair of IEEE VR 2010, IEEE 3DUI 2014 and ACM VRST 2023, which was held in Christchurch, New Zealand. He is an avid mountain biker, hiker and skier.

Michael Grieves
(Executive Dir/Chief Scientist, Digital Twin Institute)

XR, Digital Twins, and the DT Metaverse: Moving 21st Century Work into the Virtual World

Abstract:

The underlying premise for Digital Twins is that there is major value in moving work from the physical world into the virtual one. Creating information using Digital Twins in virtual space allows us to replace scarce physical resources, time, energy, and material. Successfully working with Digital Twins requires the use of XR technologies, VR and AR. Dr. Grieves will discuss the opportunities, issues, and potential benefits for VR capabilities in working in the DT Metaverse and AR in overlaying Digital Twins onto physical reality.

Bio:

Dr. Michael Grieves is an internationally renowned expert on Digital Twins, a concept he originated, and Product lifecycle Management (PLM) a discipline he wrote the seminal book for. Dr. Grieves has over five decades of executive, board, and technical experience in both global and entrepreneurial technology and manufacturing companies. He has consulted and done research at some of the top global organizations (NASA, Boeing, GM, Unilever) and has served as a senior executive and/or board member at Fortune 1000 companies, entrepreneurial organizations, and a university. Dr. Grieves is a frequent keynote speaker globally. He was the keynote speaker for ANNSIM and the Holst Memorial Award speaker in 2022. Academically, he has had appointments and has done research and/or taught at the University of Michigan, Purdue University, and University of Iowa. He currently has an appointment at the University of Central Florida. Dr. Grieves has a BS Computer Engineering from Michigan State, and MBA from Oakland University, and his doctorate from Case Western Reserve University.
