At the FUTUREwork 2019 - the trade fair for the future of work on September 23rd, 2019, in Berlin - BIBA presented the virtual welding simulator MESA together with the Mittelstand 4.0-Kompetenzzentrum Bremen. The use of virtual reality in training and further education could be explained in a playful way using a technical demonstrator - this was well received by the visitors. After an eventful day at the fair in bright sunshine, the following after-work event offered a good framework for networking and further exchange.
