# Sense Experience

Bring industrial knowledge to life through spatial computing, AI-driven augmented reality and science-grounded virtual twin interaction.

Continuity Challenges

Ideas are typically trapped behind a glass wall. Teams review complex products and projects on flat screens, decisions are delayed by organizational silos and hard-won expertise walks out the door when a project ends. The old separation between design, production and commercialization no longer fits a world where software and physical products are deeply intertwined.

Beyond the Screens

Sense Experience changes how people work with virtual models. Instead of viewing a design, just step inside it. Using natural interaction across senses and behaviors, you explore and act on a virtual twin as you experience the real world. Built directly into the platform your teams are using, every immersive scenario stays grounded in a science-based model that reflects real conditions. The result is one clear promise: AI reasoning, based on scientific reality, built for industry precision.

Take Sense Experience Further with 3DLive

The 3DLive enterprise app for Apple Vision Pro brings life-size, scientifically accurate virtual twins directly into your physical space with no exports, no disconnected tools, no flat screens. Native integration in the **3D**EXPERIENCE platform means every model and simulation stays current and connected, so teams collaborate in real time around a single, trusted version of the product, whether they're in the same room or across the world. From design review to factory planning and maintenance, 3DLive turns complex industrial scenarios into natural, spatial experiences you can see, navigate and act on.

Sense Experience FAQ

How are software-defined products, sense computing & AI impacting manufacturing?

These three technologies work together to move manufacturers from selling standalone products to delivering intelligent, connected solutions. Software provides continuous connectivity and operational data. Sense computing offers intuitive ways to visualize and interact with digital assets. AI turns that data into insights, automation and business value.

Which industries benefit most from Sense Experience?

Sense Experience is built for industries where complexity, precision and collaboration are non-negotiable. Manufacturing teams use immersive guidance to cut training time, reduce errors and raise first-time quality on the shop floor. Aerospace and transportation organizations review assembly plans and production layouts in full spatial context before anything physical is built, shortening new product introduction and breaking down silos between engineering and manufacturing. In healthcare and life sciences, surgical teams and researchers interact with patient-specific simulations and virtual twins of biologics the same way factory operators interact with industrial equipment; grounded in science, not approximation. Consumer packaged goods teams visualize packaging in realistic environments and map its full life cycle, from concept through recycling, supporting sustainable design decisions early, when they cost least to change. Across all these sectors, the common thread is the same: real-world data, scientific accuracy and AI reasoning that doesn't guess but reasons from a trusted foundation.

How does Sense Experience connect to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and promote digital continuity?

Sense Experience isn't a separate tool bolted onto your workflow; it's built directly into the **3D**EXPERIENCE platform, the same foundation engineering, manufacturing and supply chain teams already use. So, every immersive scenario you run stays connected to live product data. When design data changes, the virtual scenario updates automatically. There's no manual re-syncing, no disconnected exports and no version confusion. This is what digital continuity looks like in practice: a single, trusted version of the product that flows from early design through production and into the hands of operators on the shop floor. Sense Experience sits at the point where that connected data becomes something people can see, navigate and act on; turning platform intelligence into real, spatial understanding.

What are Sense Experience and how does it differ from a standard metaverse or AR tool?

Sense Experience is a core pillar of 3D UNIV+RSES, the seventh generation of world representation on the **3D**EXPERIENCE platform. Unlike metaverse concepts built around disconnected virtual spaces, or AR tools that simply overlay images onto a screen, Sense Experiences connect the real and virtual worlds through science-based virtual twins that are constantly recalibrated with real-world data. You don't just view a model; you step inside it, interact with it using natural senses and behaviors, and act on it with the confidence that what you're experiencing reflects actual conditions. That grounding in scientific reality is what sets Sense Experience apart: every immersive scenario carries the accuracy that production, clinical and engineering work demand.

What does the future of Sense Experience look like, and why does it matter?

With Sense Experience, the shift from viewing to experiencing is already underway, and it's moving faster than most organizations expect. Today, immersive scenarios help teams visualize and validate what isn't yet physically present, from production line layouts to surgical procedures and complex product assemblies. But the next step is more significant: connecting a physical object back to its virtual twin in real time, so you can review something in the real world and immediately see its full history, current status and projected future. That's where spatial computing becomes truly powerful. It's not just as a visualization tool, but is an active reasoning layer that connects knowledge, data and action across the value chain.
