Augmented reality (AR) and internet of things (IoT), technologies that have recently expanded in various fields of theory, scientific researches, and business practice, provide innovative approach for development of projects and their implementation. In this paper, one approach of the implementation is undertaken as an experimental use case, applied on a simplified robotic model of centrifuge for pilot training and flight simulation. An AR/IoT mobile app is designed to be developed in two phases. The first phase is finished, and the second one is under development. The app contains four main parts with the following functions: presentation, monitor/control, pilot testing, and analytics. The system and possibilities of the implementation of the app in the belonging project are explained in the paper. This use case indicates that AR/IoT apps can be developed by using simplified robotic models and later transferred to the real objects that are subject of research projects, even before their actual construction.

The aim of this paper is to contribute to existing work on project risk management, and energy innovation projects, using the lens of complexity theory. By regarding energy innovation projects as complex adaptive systems, and linking complexity theory elements to the possibilities for reducing risks of energy innovation projects, the authors conducted empirical research on a representative sample of 100 subjects. The authors used a questionnaire that was formed on the basis of a previously designed research model, which unifies several different management fields, and a large number of phenomena previously studied independently. Therefore, it has a holistic approach to the topic. The results of this research suggest that considering the elements of complexity theory had a positive impact on reducing risks in energy innovation projects, in all analyzed aspects including specific, operational, and especially regarding social and behavioral aspects. This paper strives to support and encourage better results in energy innovation projects by reducing their risks, and hopes to bring additional value by introducing a new risk philosophy, based on complexity theory. Lessons learnt regarding each issue of this research are points of concern for project managers.

Whether augmented reality and virtual reality technologies could change the flow of project management in the future? The aim of this paper is to consider implementation of these raising technologies in the field of project management. It is important to answer why they are unavoidable in the future, how their usage would affect many future projects, the way of management of such projects, and the education process of the project management experts. A SWOT analysis will be presented to help to answer these questions. As disruptive technologies, they bring plenty of new opportunities and benefits. However, this is still an insufficiently explored field, so the authors want to stress the significance of augmented reality and virtual reality technologies for future development of project management practice.
