>> Imagine you're crawling
inside a spacecraft,
and you're trying to do the work.
The last thing you need is to
have to be carrying paper,
or tablets, or a laptop
into the environment.
Being able to have
data readily available
without having to hold on
to anything is significant.
I'm Shelley Peterson, my role is
Principal Investigator
for Augmented and
Mixed Reality at Lockheed Martin.
We work with Orion,
which is NASA's spacecraft
that will take astronauts out
to the Moon and even into
deeper space, such as Mars.
On the Orion spacecraft,
there's 57,000 fasteners.
Normally, the technicians
would have to measure
to know where to place
those fasteners.
With Mixed Reality,
they put on the device,
they see the digital version of
the fastener hovering
over the surface.
They know exactly where to place it.
When we do this, we save about
90 percent of the touch labor.
We take an eight-hour activity
of marking locations,
and they finish it in 45 minutes.
Or an eight-shift activity they
can complete in six hours.
It also reduces the
potential for errors,
because the instruction
is just so clear
when they see it overlaid on
the structure in front of them.
Over the last two plus years
that we've use the HoloLens
on the shop floor,
we haven't had one error,
and that's significant.
It's just pretty powerful.
It takes what we think
of as a laptop or
computing to the next
level. It feels like magic.
