Sikorsky Seeks Augmented Reality Innovations with Entrepreneurial Challenge
Augmented Reality will eventually have an impact in most industries but some industries are earlier to adopt than others. Boeing, Airbus and other large manufacturers of aircraft and satellites have been introducing Augmented Reality.
Sikorsky Innovations, a division of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a global leader in helicopter design, manufacture, and service, is also on the look out for new technologies that could be disruptive in its industry. The company conducts contests to identify new developments as well as potential partners with which it can improve its operations and products.
One of the four focus areas on which the company’s sixth Entrepreneurial Challenge will focus is Augmented Reality for collaborative applications and complex manufacturing processes. In mid-July the company announced further details about the submission process and awards.
Applications are due to Sikorsky Innovations by 5 p.m. EDT on Friday, October 16th 2015.
