Manufacturing facilities present an opportunity to explore the future of work as technologies like IoT and augmented and virtual reality make inroads into how complex products are engineered and produced. Join Christopher Le Dantec and Alyssa Rumsey as they share an overview of their research, studying the implementation of VR at GE Aviation, to provide context for a larger discussion identifying areas of focus that align with the NSF Future of Work at the Human Technology Frontier. They will document research questions surrounding the future of work and orient interests around the NSF call for proposals due March 6.
