Augmented reality solutions represent a potentially ideal tool for optimizing work in laboratory environments due to their ability to link a real environment with virtual additional information and data. The advancing digitalization poses a new challenge to the capture and retrieval of process and experiment information - especially concerning uninterrupted, integrated work without conventional PCs ("hands-free capturing", "information at your fingertips"). In cooperation with our industrial partner Takeda, researchers from the Multiple Senses Group are working on tailor-made concepts for the innovative use of AR technologies in pharmaceutical research and development.
In the future, the laboratory environments augmented by AR solutions will not only support scientists on site in their work but also connect laboratory teams worldwide in a collaborative manner to enable cooperation across all continents. The increasing trend toward working remotely from home will also play a key role in this.
During prototype development, our researchers also pay the utmost attention to userability as well as a smart and easy-to-understand presentation of data, which allows the extension of the developed immersive AR solutions to other important fields of application and thus lead to an increase in efficiency of existing processes (reduction of travel, training, etc.).
