SUMMARY

This course presents Xtendit, an extended reality (XR) toolkit designed to support knowledge sharing, operator training, and daily operations in industrial environments.

Through the integration of four interconnected applications—web, mobile, VR, and AR—Xtendit enables the creation, access, and sharing of multimedia notes localized directly on machines using physical QR codes.

The case study illustrates how immersive and human-centered technologies can enhance workforce onboarding, reduce training costs, and build a long-term knowledge base within manufacturing organizations.
