Extended Reality and Control in the Industry

With the upcoming Extended Reality technology we open a new horizon of technology. In this paper we propose the use of VR and AR technology for a more serious business, the new and improved human-machine interface. Being on the back of another industry, in this case the gaming one, will provide us with free R&D, and much cheaper tools for our goals, all the while, the application of this new interface will extend the capability of human control to a whole new level. Hence, why we call it Extended Control (XC). In this paper we have added some of our ideas for applying Extended Control, as well as an example of already existing XC solution with proven increase in efficiency for its platform. Most of the XR tools are new, and the technology has only now become stable enough to be used in serious cases. Therefore, risk management is also taken into account in this paper.
