A Review on Development and Application of Virtual Reality (VR) Training Platform for Testing, Inspection and Certification Industry

Abstract

The Virtual Reality (VR) training is one of modern simulation tools which has been used to help train up staffs to operate equipment and facilities, as well as handling emergency situations in different industries. This paper discusses the theories supporting the adoption of VR technologies in the laboratories and pros/cons of Virtual Reality Training systems. Virtual reality technologies have been applied to different types of trainings in many industries, such as product design and manufacturing, facilities maintenances and territory teaching purposes. A typical virtual reality system includes four basic elements: 1) Input devices in order to simulate the working behavior; 2) Output devices; such as VR headset to allow the user in the virtual environment; 3) graphical system that produce simulated scenario(s); 4) Database to store the different conditions to simulate the operation environment.

Quality methods in Virtual and Augmented Reality: A systematic literature review

“…In the following, the further steps of the planning are presented. For sub-step 1.2 Derivation of requirements, the selection of bibliographic sources is made on the databases Scopus and web of science, because for related SLR in the area of Lean Management (Salentijn et al 2021), Virtual Reality (Domingueti et al 2021;Mak et al 2020), Augmented Reality (Ho et al 2022;Quandt and Freitag 2021: 4 f), Education (Checa and Bustillo 2020) and Concepts these databases have provided the most results and thus the largest possible overview can be achieved. With the catchwords, the three topic areas VR/AR (assistance systems), Lean Management and Six Sigma as well as education are to be subdivided.…”

Enhancing Remote Industrial Training Experiences with Asymmetric Virtual Reality: Experiences, Tools and Guidelines

“…An extensive body of research on the application of VR in an industrial context [2,4,5] demonstrates the potential to enhance and shift existing practices. Indeed, the flexibility of simulations and interactions in VR offers a range of benefits to the training and learning of maintenance technicians [6][7][8], providing them with safe and novel ways of practicing.…”

“…The major application is split into two areas: (1) pre-job training and (2) on-site support [2]. VR-based pre-job training is a well-studied matter, which demonstrates positive effects on the performance and accuracy of maintenance technicians coupled with a decreased error rate and training time [6][7][8]20,29]. A study by Winther et al [11], for instance, demonstrated that after 20 min of training in VR, participants were able to perform maintenance operations over a realworld dosing pump.…”

“…One of the greatest examples of how XR technologies can be applied in industrial settings is to facilitate training. The benefits of performing industrial training in VR have been explicitly demonstrated by the extensive body of research on the topic [6][7][8]; it positively affects the effectiveness and accuracy of maintenance technicians while minimizing error rates. Further, it advances the transfer of knowledge and skills by improving situated learning and spatial understanding [9,10], since training happens in a simulated but still realistic context, which would help technicians to become familiar with their work environment without physically attending it.…”

Інформаційна Модель Як Каталізатор Трансформацій У Системі Проектування Та Управління В Будівельній Галузі України

“…Актуальне застосування дана технологія знаходить у контролюванні процесу будівництва. Інженер з будівельного контролю, за наявності VR-окулярів, що мають вбудований GPSприймач, у режимі реального часу обходить будівельний майданчик та аналізує накладені системою проектні дані на реальне зображення встановленої конструкції або частини інженерної мережі [14].…”
