Abstract
Nowadays, manufacturing and service companies are increasingly using new IT-based methods and solutions. Two of these areas are the use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Kyrgyz National Agrarian University named after K.I. Skrybian (KNAU) and Kyrgyz State Technical University Named After Iskhaak Razzakov (KSTU) established VR laboratories with the support of an European project, in which the Institute of Logistics of the University of Miskolc played a key role. In this publication, we present the basics of VR and AR technology, with the current market and research shares and lastly its application in laboratories and industrial environments.
Keywords: Cross-border cooperation, virtual logistics center, virtual reality.
