2) Superdraft’s Viz360 – AR technology is also being used to teach young entrepreneurs about planning for logistics systems. In a project in cooperation with Etihad Cargo, business, engineering and pre-law students from New York University Abu Dhabi this week finished an intensive, four-week course about designing efficient air cargo supply chain systems, using Viz360’s AR headsets, along with virtual reality and other sensory technology, the students were able to manipulate virtual cargo material in three dimensions to design and build cargo systems, and then display their work as a visual showcase.
During the course, the students also interacted with “Cargie,” a load-carrying robot capable of machine learning; “Paper Trail,” an app capable of tracking air waybills and other physical documents; and “HoloCargo,” a 3D-scanning and virtual reality system that can help cargo handlers build pallets and cargo containers.
