U
ntil now, businesses engaged in design and manufacturing have relied on 3D product models or 2D drawings to
gain the understanding and insight needed to make critical commercial and operational decisions. However, augmented, mixed, and virtual reality technologies – collectively known as Extended Reality (XR) – are now providing powerful new ways of interacting with 3D product designs. With the growth of the gaming sector and the industrial metaverse, XR is revolutionising design-data interaction across multiple industries.
THE IMPACT OF XR ON DESIGN DATA INTERACTION XR devices, such as headsets, tablets and phones, enable both CAD and non-CAD users to immerse themselves in design data. This immersion allows users to access, analyse and review product geometry and information in a more instinctive and human way. Supporting a range of operational use cases, XR technology is changing how different teams and business functions benefit from enhanced product interaction. Full-scale 3D product designs can be shared
globally, aiding collaborative work. These 3D designs can be placed in real-world locations for evaluation, helping identify risks, hazards and issues before product manufacture, shipping or

installation. Customer feedback can be gathered quickly during early or concept design stages, and unplanned costs arising from design issues can be identified and avoided at the source. This delivers both time and cost savings across the entire product management lifecycle. New ways of working provided by XR technology promote accuracy and collaboration across design-led processes, allowing for early decision-making for businesses and customers alike.
AUTOMATED DATA OPTIMISATION: THE KEY TO UNLOCKING XR’S FULL POTENTIAL XR experiences are built upon complex 3D data, including models, textures and animations. To ensure these experiences are seamless and immersive, the underlying data must be optimised for performance and compatibility across different devices and platforms. Manual data optimisation processes can be time- consuming, error-prone and resource-intensive, introducing inconsistencies and compatibility issues. Moreover, as XR applications become more sophisticated, the complexity of data optimisation grows exponentially. Automated data optimisation addresses these
challenges by streamlining the process and eliminating manual intervention. Solutions like TheoremXR are revolutionising the process by providing simple, automated solutions that process design data, making it ready for use across XR devices, visualisation systems, and development workflows. With TheoremXR, organisations can eliminate the need for manual data processing, simplifying the deployment of XR applications. The solution’s drag-and-drop functionality and predefined options enable end- users to prepare and deploy 3D data effortlessly, allowing teams to focus on core business tasks.
EMPOWERING ENTERPRISE XR DEPLOYMENT For large organisations, XR deployment can pose additional challenges related to data consistency,
IT standards, and user adoption. TheoremXR provides a robust model for enterprise deployment, ensuring that data optimisation processes adhere to organisational standards and policies. By centralising data optimisation and providing a neutral product architecture, TheoremXR empowers enterprises to deploy XR applications at scale with confidence.
FUTURE-PROOFING XR INVESTMENTS As XR technologies continue to evolve, it’s crucial for organisations to future-proof their investments. TheoremXR's data and device- neutral approach and automated optimisation capabilities enable businesses to stay ahead of the curve, adapting to emerging devices and software advancements effortlessly. By maximising data processing efficiency and eliminating barriers to adoption, TheoremXR ensures that organisations can realise the full value of XR investments over time. As new devices come to market and software portfolios evolve, TheoremXR enables businesses to continually develop and innovate, unlocking the full potential of XR.
IN SUMMARY Solutions like TheoremXR offer centralised, automated processes that streamline XR deployment, empower enterprises, and future-proof investments. By leveraging advanced technologies and eliminating manual intervention, organisations can unlock the full potential of XR and drive innovation across industries. With automated data optimisation, the future of XR is within reach. If you want to understand how XR could bring value to your business, Theorem has the software and expertise required to ensure successful adoption of XR, at the right scale for your organisation.
