On the first day of the Paris Air Show, the aerospace industry’s biggest event, giant Airbus has signaled its intention to become one of the biggest manufacturers in the world to implement mixed reality technology on a large scale. Airbus is teaming up with Microsoft’s Microsoft’s Cloud and AI group to implement its mixed reality strategy.
Business had been good for Airbus, and with Boeing on the ropes after the 737 Max fiasco, demand is rising. That’s putting pressure on the company’s production lines. Airbus, which makes helicopters and satellites in addition to commercial airplanes, plans to produce around 20,000 aircraft over the next twenty years, according to the company.
