ARSOFT participates in the New Space Andalucía 2024 event
On October 9, ARSOFT’s CEO, Santiago González, took part in one of the most important events in the space industry: New Space Andalucía 2024, held in Seville. This gathering brought together the most innovative leaders and companies in the space sector. During his address, Santiago González emphasized the significant role XR technologies are playing in transforming this field.
Participation in the ‘Elevator Pitch’ Session
One of the key moments of the event was the “Elevator Pitch” session, in which our CEO participated. In just a few minutes, he explained to the audience ARSOFT’s research and development work on Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and Mixed Reality solutions in the aerospace sector.
XR Technologies in the New Space Economy
The New Space Economy is booming, driven by innovation and collaboration between tech companies and space agencies. One of the key advances transforming this sector is the integration of XR technologies (Extended Reality), which includes Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR). These tools are redefining how we visualize, plan, and execute space missions.
Virtual Training
Training and educating operators is critical for aerospace and aviation companies. These sectors use highly complex machinery, making it essential for astronauts, engineers, and technicians to thoroughly understand its operation to perform efficiently and conduct maintenance when necessary. Thanks to virtual reality simulators, technicians can learn quickly and effectively without needing to interact directly with physical equipment. This allows them to become familiar with tools and processes in an immersive way, enhancing their preparation before facing real-world situations.
Interactive Maintenance Practices
XR technologies have become a key tool for operators to perform maintenance tasks, preparing them for potential issues arising from system or component failures in aircraft. At ARSOFT, a company specializing in XR technologies applied to the industrial sector, we digitize a wide range of maintenance processes, including those in the defense sector. Technicians are trained in immersive environments using Virtual Reality, allowing them to simulate real-world scenarios interactively. Additionally, with Mixed Reality, they can access detailed, step-by-step instructions while working in front of real equipment. By simply putting on VR goggles, the technician can visualize any process in detail, practice guided tasks, or even evaluate their performance and knowledge with precision.
It is no surprise that XR technologies continue to play a key role in the exploration and expansion of space. Not only do they optimize mission execution, but they also expand the boundaries of what is possible, opening up a myriad of opportunities for humanity’s journey into space. Participation in New Space Andalucía 2024 strengthens ARSOFT’s position in the sector and our commitment to technological innovation. The XR solutions we develop continue to break new ground.
