“…HMD VR allows students to explore simulated hazards that cannot be implemented or experienced in the real world. These simulated scenarios included virtual tunnels for training miners to identify possible hazards [19,26], a radiation experience for nuclear engineering beginners [20], an industrial plant for field operators to identify and overcome hazards or accidents in industrial processes [58], the sites of past construction accidents for teaching how to identify hazards and operating procedures [50], and practical sections for construction safety education [34].…”

“…Common qualitative methods included behavioral observation in real time [4,21,49,61,69] or with video recording software [56,60], interviews and focus groups [21,25,26,42,43,49,60], open questions in survey [7,8,41,57,61], and case studies [59,66]. Quantitative data tended to include task completion time [5,8,23,41,43‐45], survey ratings [1,3,4,6‐9,14,23,33,41,44,47,49,51,64,69], and exam scores [2,23,43,45,49,51,56,58] to assess participants' performance and the effectiveness of HMD VR systems.…”

“…With regard to learning, several studies explored overall effectiveness, referring to whether participants successfully learned the target knowledge or skills. The measures can be objective or subjective: task completion time [5,8,23,41,43‐45], exam score [2,23,43,45,49,51,56,58], perceived learning, effectiveness, and efficiency [23,25,41,61].…”

Engineering education refers to developing an understanding of the principles, methods, and ways of thinking that underlie engineering, and preparing students and engineers for productive engineering careers. The purpose of this review is to explore how head‐mounted display‐based virtual reality (HMD VR) can contribute to these goals. Historically, engineering has not been a focus for VR in education. However, recent technical advances and decreasing prices are driving a growing public interest in applying HMD VR in this field. This article reviews 47 publications on this topic, primarily appearing from 2015 to May of 2020. The literature reveals that engineering researchers and instructors have broadly explored the potential of HMD VR in organized engineering instruction and training. However, rigorous evaluation appears to be somewhat lacking in the reviewed research, and most studies are conducted in a small‐scale laboratory setting. Nonetheless, HMD VR seems to be able to motivate students to learn and it is perceived to be useful in engineering education. Researchers are recommended to explore the methods of using HMD VR to facilitate lifelong learning, especially for the retraining and re‐employment of engineers who seek to change careers or collaborate with researchers in different disciplines. Engineering instructors may benefit from professional development that focuses on student‐centered pedagogies and skills attuned to the latest HMD VR systems.

“…These approaches develop industrial process training environments, but without the assistance of a conversational agent during the process, which is the objective of this work. Rosero et al [13] have developed an environment for training on industrial emergencies similar to Porras's work. However, unlike the previous work, Rosero's paper is focused on emergencies that may arise in industrial environments.…”

This paper presents the implementation of a conversational agent in virtual environments oriented to industrial control processes in order to contribute to the improvement of teaching-learning processes. The application simulates the level control process in two virtual environments, the first one as a virtual laboratory and the second environment as an industrial process. The environments have been created with three-dimensional models based on Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) diagrams. The models have been simulated and animated using Unity 3D software. The environments exchange information in real time with MATLAB mathematical software to simulate the industrial process controller, achieving a high degree of realism. Each environment is assisted by a conversational agent who communicates with Dialogflow, a natural language understanding platform, to guide the user during their training. Test users were asked to provide feedback through a usability questionnaire, and these results are discussed at the end of this article.

“…The realism and immersive capacity that virtual reality provides and makes it an ideal means for knowledge acquisition to be effective in the learning process or industrial training. It is also able to stimulate the user's senses to reproduce sensations that only could be experienced in real situations, which makes possible to evaluate these reactions and decision making to assess their abilities with a reliable degree of effectiveness [6,7,15]. Several virtual reality applications have been developed for training in fields such as medicine, manufacturing, construction, energy systems and a long et cetera [3,13,14].…”

This article offers the development of a realistic and intuitive virtual environment for training on pumping stations for drinking water supply systems. The environment has structures and equipment found in pumping stations that simplify the user interaction with the industrial process, instrumentation, monitoring and control of the station. The environment has been created using photogrammetry techniques, CAD tools and the UNITY 3D graphic engine that combined with MATLAB exchanges information in real time to execute the simulation of the process, achieving a high degree of realistic immersion. Experimental tests allow the operator to interact with the virtual environment and achieve maximum experience in the integrated station. Through experimental tests, the immersion of the training environment system is verified.
