billion installations, has therefore

assistance, ensuring a highly progressive
image in line with new
functional needs.
Using SLAM, Simultaneous

technology, the application allows
spatial reconstruction of
the surrounding environment
to allow you to locate the objects
placed in it.
This allows operators no longer
only mirroring video streams,
but also the ability to highlight
objects and/or supersede indicative
arrows, to facilitate the
understanding of the maintenance
procedure for those who are
carrying out the assistance work.
All this is easy without having
special programming skills or relevant
to the sector (Figg. 3-4).
But if you turn your attention
to the most complex functional
scenarios, you can in a custom
taylor perspective, witness
countless more articulate and
complex augmented reality applications,
designed to increase
safety or productivity in different
industries, to improve the ability
to make decisions in a reduced
time with the help of information
related to the context of use.
In fact, there are many AR/VR
systems developed internationally
in professional fields in the
health sectors - with diagnostic
imaging it is possible to reconstruct
the physiological anatomy
of sick organs of a single patient
e.g. eyeball / brain / spine etc..),
and thanks to the over-imposition
of such three-dimensional
data in Mixed Reality during the
intervention, with an accurate
real-virtual collimation, it is
possible to proceed with surgeries
with special awareness and
operational precision. In some

and/or training on the job.
One aspect that concerns this
progressive and utilitarian mainstream
adoption is that it inevitably
has several implications of a
not only cultural but also ethical
nature.
On the other hand, it is clear
that research, innovation has
