Duane Dunston, professor of cyber security at Champlain College, opened the first day of the International Elastomer Conference Oct. 5 with the keynote address.
Dunston spoke on the benefits of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies and how they can be utilized in the rubber industry.
From training on machines before they ever reach the shop floor to making the workplace safer, AR and VR technologies hold an enormous amount of potential for the industry going forward.
