In 2004/2005 our old Creator product was used to build a concept 3D fault guided maintenance application for jet engines. The concept was sensors in the jet engine would detect state and inform the ground grew over a wireless connection maintenance need - and a 3d guided mainteance app would use the sensor data to drive the interactive electronic manual. As sensor costs plummet, big data becomes established and mobile and wifi has driven advanced networked computing platforms into everyone's pocket - that concept now becomes very prescient. For manufacturers (and interface developers) sensor driven maintenance and performance measurement platforms are going to be a key new business growth area in the coming years. Sensors and networks connect data. Software augments hardware. Insight drives opportunity. Interesting times.
