A Review on Enabling Technologies of Industrial Virtual Training Systems

Abstract

Industrial training increasingly uses computer technologies to boost efficiency, effectiveness, and safety. Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and e-learning platforms have transformed traditional training methods. This review examines these technologies and highlights their applications in various sectors. The review addresses adoption challenges, including high costs, technical complexity, user acceptance, learning curves, simulation realism, and health concerns. It proposes strategies to mitigate these issues, such as cost-effective solutions, improved usability, enhanced realism, and robust assessment mechanisms. By analyzing multiple studies, the paper provides insights into the current state and future directions of technology-enabled industrial training, emphasizing ongoing innovation and adaptation to maximize these advanced tools' potential.
