| In advance of their third article in the Harvard Business Review, Michael Porter and Jim Heppelmann will share why organizations need an AR strategy. Products have continued incorporating a powerful new interface technology called “augmented reality.” Through a smartphone or tablet pointed at the product, or through smart glasses, augmented reality applications tap into the product cloud and generate a digital overlay of the product. This overlay contains monitoring, operating, and service information that makes supporting or servicing the product more efficient. Constructing these powerful digital interfaces is another critical new design discipline. |
