That relationship establishes useful context, ownership and scope. It does not establish clearance, line of sight, navigability, obstruction, reach or physical feasibility. The Semantic Twin can tell us that two assets are in the same module. The Spatial Twin can help establish whether one prevents access to the other. That gap is where the walkdown lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/f3f096db-8949-4ae9-8f4b-53fd86ccb4f8/4.png General Blog - Why Meaning Alone Cannot Operate the Physical World - Minimum Viable Spatial Context This also answers the objection that scanning everything would cost too much. It would, and nobody should attempt it. Capture the areas and fidelity required by a defined operational outcome, demonstrate the result, then extend where the evidence justifies it. Reuse changes the economics. A capture supporting a feasibility check may also serve familiarisation, permit coordination, incident review, training and robot route planning. Spatial evidence often becomes more valuable as more workflows reuse it, which is why funding it from a single departmental budget tends to produce the wrong answer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/6a137660-c5c2-4bbe-8a8f-5140febc425c/5.png General Blog - Why Meaning Alone Cannot Operate the Physical World - Four Key Ways Orientation, Feasibility, Coordination and Verification - Key elements of any managed initiative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/fd90a57a-77e6-4482-a5d8-95fb568fe655/6.png General Blog - Why Meaning Alone Cannot Operate the Physical World - Its not a choice - its a partnership The key is in the lockstep. https://justmextended.squarespace.com/generalblog/brownfield-and-greenfield-same-destination-different-route monthly 0.5 2026-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/580fce12-8122-4658-a038-8d9871ff3a34/01_learning_loop.png General Blog - Brownfield and Greenfield: Same Destination, Different Route - Learning Loop This learning loop is not unique to brownfield assets.

The problem is that traditional systems fragment the dimensions of truth across documents, applications, departments and suppliers—and leave the user to reconcile them manually. The purpose of the Digital Twin is to bring those dimensions together into one governed operational model. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/b39e1a13-2ad1-4820-92d2-32c2c373526d/04_digital_thread_configuration_history.png General Blog - One Asset.

A useful Digital Thread must preserve not only information but also the decisions that moved the asset from one authorised state to another: what changed and why, who proposed and approved it, what evidence supported the decision, when it became effective, whether the work was completed and verified, what was affected, and which state is now authoritative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/c2d1e92a-b871-4dea-a6a7-49b9a97b0e44/truth.png General Blog - One Asset.

Thus, although UI and UX design are interconnected, they fulfil separate functions in the realm of application development. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/80bc4273-6510-4754-8348-7924b394108d/Firefly+a+successful+engineer+using+his+favourite+application+on+an+ipad+in+a+chemical+plant+94621.jpg General Blog - XR : Experience is Everything! - Applications as work enablers If applications were crafted to facilitate work, serving as indispensable tools that guarantee well-executed tasks, or act as a beacon of guidance for completing tasks with greater efficiency, safety, and quality, their widespread adoption would likely be more readily attained. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/f86157ff-7002-4555-b633-5f9614c0e58c/Screenshot+2024-07-30+at+11.47.28.jpg General Blog - XR : Experience is Everything! - Make it stand out Key Factors in UX Design for Screen-Based versus XR Applications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/e5d9c05a-9375-41f4-b2e3-390849ead625/Firefly+a+man+walking+into+a+permit+office+in+an+oil+refinery+wearing+XR+glasses+84225.jpg General Blog - XR : Experience is Everything! - Example 1 : Delivering Application Functions in Context Envision a worker at a manufacturing plant entering the Permit office and being automatically offered the options to either raise a new permit or check the status of an existing one pertinent to his location or assigned task. There's no need for him to start an application, log in, navigate to the permit status page, search for the relevant permit, and review its status before beginning a conversation; all this information is preemptively provided by the context of who he is, where he is and the work assigned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/bc91f076-249c-4140-b74d-822f3b2fae54/Firefly+someone+looking+at+a+compressor+in+an+oil+refinery+with+an+augmented+reality+overlay+85492.jpg General Blog - XR : Experience is Everything! - Example 2 : The challenge of selecting the right application or recalling where data is stored may soon become a thing of the past. Envision approaching a compressor in an oil refinery and instantly viewing associated data such as engineering details, IoT data, and documentation. Additionally, having the capability to access operating procedures and select the appropriate one for the current issue. Imagine being seamlessly presented with ERP application functions to issue a notification, request a permit, or access controls to operate the compressor directly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/aa181a4d-3cb2-438c-9752-aa67c872e9d4/Firefly+someone+looking+travelling+to+different+locations+in+an+oil+refinery+with+a+wayfinding+augme.jpg General Blog - XR : Experience is Everything! - Example 3 : An XR Experience could transform Operator Rounds. A newly hired operator at an oil refinery can be guided to specific points on the site for daily inspections, steering clear of areas where other activities could pose safety risks upon entry. At each inspection point, they would access comprehensive step-by-step instructions and necessary data for tasks at these critical locations. Additionally, the system could provide an automated option to initiate a collaborative call with subject matter experts relevant to the equipment found along their route. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/5fb28fb9-c597-4cb7-80a4-b67012fbc4ad/Firefly+people+working+together+at+different+locations+in+an+oil+refinery+on+a+complex+task+with+aug.jpg General Blog - XR : Experience is Everything! - Example 4 : A new experience that enables better management of complex tasks. A supervisor overseeing a multi-disciplinary maintenance task, involving various personnel across a complex site, could gain fresh perspectives on the placement of essential resources and the advancements in each phase of the intricate process. This would enable them to offer more effective guidance and have a more detailed understanding of the work's influence on production, safety, and other critical site operations. Enhanced supervisory insights and visualisations to enhance coordination and conduct more thorough impact assessments that will enhance both the efficiency and safety of complex procedures. https://justmextended.squarespace.com/generalblog/xr-delivering-data-in-context monthly 0.5 2024-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/973febee-8dda-45d1-89d1-7e5a7d4bb48e/Firefly+sdata+is+the+new+oil+1601.jpg General Blog - XR Delivering Data in Context - “Data is the new oil” The quote originated from an article in The Economist back in 2017.

I benefit from this ecosystem, it makes my life easier. https://justmextended.squarespace.com/generalblog/avp2 monthly 0.5 2024-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/1ee275fc-3937-4828-86f9-63b05310cbe3/andrew+carnegie.jpeg General Blog - My Apple Vision Pro Journey, Part 2 : Basic Collaboration - Effective Collaboration is critical to the success of almost any objective. Andrew Carnegie said “Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organisational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” Effective Collaboration is critical to the success of almost any end-goal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/aa2a22a1-7759-4feb-b3b3-b33b3324f7f8/Firefly+show+me+a+picture+of+a+men+and+women+collaborating+with+ipads+at+an+oil+refinery+66285.jpg General Blog - My Apple Vision Pro Journey, Part 2 : Basic Collaboration - Connected Worker When we deployed the iPad’s they had the ability to see each other, we delivered video, and along side this we were able to share content. Sharing content with people sitting in front of laptops is easy, however sharing content with the remote worker on an iPad using the basic Teams capabilities on a tablet has a more limited value, and is less practical to use as it is difficult to navigate the content; sometimes even difficult to see it when you are at the front line with protective gear on and tools in your hand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/6fa87c4f-4e08-4426-a386-b20194560e3f/Persona.png General Blog - My Apple Vision Pro Journey, Part 2 : Basic Collaboration - Persona’s The first time I saw my Persona on the Vision Pro my initial thought was “How much Botox have I had?” It was a little creepy, but I have to say its improved dramatically with the recent VisionOS updates. The Persona’s feature (which is still in Beta) solves the problem of you appearing in a collaboration call wearing a headset and is certainly much better than cartoon based avatar’s that feature on other Collaboration Platforms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/87e4c3e9-9e3b-4f23-b1fc-e165aa08a5c5/Screenshot+2024-06-06+at+11.49.12.png General Blog - My Apple Vision Pro Journey, Part 2 : Basic Collaboration - No Content Sharing yet with Microsoft Teams There was however a BIG disappointment, I was not able to share any content. People who were joining the meeting from a desktop client, or mobile client were able to share content and I could see it within the main Teams Window, but I was unable to share anything from my Vision Pro. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/27775328-0f2a-4acd-a31a-0fdd5a3bfb34/XR+DT.jpg General Blog - My Apple Vision Pro Journey, Part 2 : Basic Collaboration - Touch your Spatial Twin We are now looking at evolving our Digital Twins to Spatial Twins where we can share our twins in any of its dimensions, past historical operations, current real time operations, or future simulated or predictive situations regardless of their physical location. https://justmextended.squarespace.com/generalblog/avp-1 monthly 0.5 2024-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/6e32e0bb-a8c2-4f69-8de7-aae6832ef1f0/wwdc+2023.jpg General Blog - My Apple Vision Pro Journey, Part 1 : User Experience - Apple Vision Pro at WWDC 2023 I watched the announcement , my initial thoughts were “this is an iPhone moment”. Since that time, I was able to try the device twice, each for 5-minute guided demos; after each demo, I was still impressed, but I didn’t get a chance to “Play”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/238dce00-a1cc-4988-80a1-3c0be5ca0bd9/Firefly+show+me+a+picture+of+a+frustrated+woman+at+a+desk+using+an+old+computer+66285.jpg General Blog - My Apple Vision Pro Journey, Part 1 : User Experience - Showing my age! Ive been in this industry for many years now, I remember at the start of my career in the early 90’s I was sitting next to a Banking Executive, in front of a PC with a mouse; she considered herself computer literate having sat in front of an IBM 3070 Terminal for many years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665d840d8d6c195cd42d8292/d1b5daeb-56c9-461a-8dd8-03bf2ae82787/Firefly+show+me+a+picture+of+a+man+in+a+suit+using+a+VR+Headset+with+Controllers+1035.jpg General Blog - My Apple Vision Pro Journey, Part 1 : User Experience - Controllers, they need to go! In my opinion, controllers are a clumsy barrier to both adoption and immersion. When I introduce a typical VR headset to new users the initial conversation is about how to hold and use the controllers.

User Experience - iPhone Launch When Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone, he spoke about Apple’s “revolutionary” introduction of ways of controlling a device, the Mouse for the Mac, the Click Wheel for the iPod, and Multi-Touch for the iPhone. https://justmextended.squarespace.com/generalblog/tag/Meta monthly 0.5 https://justmextended.squarespace.com/generalblog/tag/Metaverse monthly 0.5
