Transforming Skill Transfer in Manufacturing
The world of manufacturing is on the brink of a revolutionary change with the introduction of the next-generation Mixed Reality (MR) training platform,
LegacyLink XR, which will officially launch on
October 20, 2025. Developed by
VR Design Lab, headquartered in Chiyoda City, Tokyo, this platform addresses critical challenges such as labor shortages and knowledge transfer within the manufacturing sector.
Overview of LegacyLink XR
LegacyLink XR is more than just a training tool; it represents a paradigm shift in how skills are transferred in the workplace. Utilizing the innovative
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) technology combined with a newly integrated
Skill Assessment Mode, this platform provides an immersive experience that nurtures practical skills rather than merely transmitting knowledge. By creating an environment where participants can engage in hands-on training,
LegacyLink XR ensures that learners master skills effectively and efficiently.
Key Innovations of LegacyLink XR
1.
Ultra-High Precision MR Training: The
3D Gaussian Splatting technology allows for the stunningly accurate reproduction of physical devices and environments in high-detail CG. Unlike traditional photogrammetry, this advanced method uses multiple photographs alongside machine learning to construct elliptical Gaussian clouds, resulting in high-quality 3D images. This ensures that trainees experience realistic scenarios.
2.
Accessibility for Anytime, Anywhere Learning: With
LegacyLink XR, training can take place anytime and anywhere, as long as a participant has access to a VR headset. This adaptability makes it ideal for simulating hazardous tasks or intricate machinery operations, thereby providing a safe and practical learning environment.
3.
Integrated Skill Assessment Mode: A standout feature of
LegacyLink XR, this mode allows instructors to assess participants' understanding immediately after training sessions. By objectively evaluating skill acquisition, learners can gain insights into their proficiency. After each assessment, participants receive feedback, enabling them to reflect on their learning effectively. Moreover, administrators can monitor trainee progress and evaluation results via the cloud, allowing for tailored training based on individual performance.
Efficient Group Training Sessions
LegacyLink XR is not limited to individual training. It supports group training modes, enabling a single instructor to oversee up to
50 trainees simultaneously. This efficiency in managing training sessions enhances resource allocation and optimizes learning outcomes. Instructors can monitor each learner's progress in real-time, recording sessions for later review, making it an adaptable solution for various training environments.
Product Configuration
LegacyLink XR comprises a complete hardware and software package that includes:
- - A laptop (e.g., Core Ultra 9, Geforce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop)
- - A Wi-Fi router (e.g., Archer BE24000)
- - Optional VR headset compatible with models such as Meta Quest2/3, PICO 4E.
Diverse Applications
This cutting-edge platform is suitable for various sectors in manufacturing, including semiconductor, automotive, and electronics, significantly enhancing skill transfer and workforce development. For example:
- - Semiconductor Sector: Streamlining assembly line training, simulations of safe working conditions, and foundational education on semiconductor manufacturing processes.
- - Automotive Sector: Educating standard operational procedures on assembly lines as well as quality management training for painting and finishing processes.
- - Electronics Sector: Focusing on PCB implementation training and education regarding electrical safety and static electricity measures.
LegacyLink XR will showcase its capabilities at
CEATEC 2025, one of Japan's largest IT advanced technology exhibitions, set to take place from
October 14 to 17. Attendees can visit booth number 3 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Technology Research Institute for a live demonstration.
