True stories from the trenches and the factory floor: transforming industry
Kathleen Maher, Vice President; Editor-in-Chief, Tech Watch
A look at the ways in which new technology is transforming industry. It can be argued that large enterprise companies have been the early adopters of advanced technology including CAVE experiences, digital prototypes, 3D printing, VR and AR. Now the transformers are being further transformed by advances in technology. Processing power has been unleashed to open up access to technology former reserved for companies that could afford to fund R&D, and large IT operations. What happens when small companies can compete as equals with large companies. As talent can be resourced all over the world. And, as manufacture once again becomes local.
Kathleen Maher is an experienced analyst tracking content creation and design software. Maher is the Editor-in-Chief of JPR's TechWatch Report, one of the most respected insider reports published today. She is the author of several well received reports including the 3D Modeling and Animation Report, The CAD Report, and also reports on video animation, print, and audio software. She is the Editor in Chief of GraphicSpeak, a website covering graphics hardware and software, Contributing Editor for Computer Graphics World, a frequent contributor to Connect Press, and a contributor to the Handbook of Visual Display Technology (2011).
