“…Since the last decade, virtual reality (VR) technology is being applied in different areas, including mining, metallurgy, aerospace manufacturing etc. (Woksepp et al 2005;Zhou 2011;Hugues et al 2012;Vieira et al 2014;Frigo et al 2016). VR has also been integrated with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models for coke blast furnaces (Zhou 2011).…”

A virtual reality (VR) model has been developed in the case of a generic green ironmaking industrial unit, namely a typical charcoal mini-blast furnace (CMBF) plant in Brazil. The VR prototype construction of the CMBF plant has been implemented through integration of data in different softwares and hardwares, including detailed engineering design of various auxiliary units and major equipments with realistic project parameters. Through the VR technology, one can actually have the unique experience visiting all parts of the CMBF plant, promote technical discussions on engineering and process control with users and improve information handling, communication, safety, maintenance procedures and development of advanced engineering projects in the field. VR industry-professional education platform can be used in universities, museums and industries with great benefits to students, workers and users.

Augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) are used in many disciplines, especially education, science, health, safety and engineering. It is based on the visualization and interaction of virtual graphic designs in the natural environment with its own hardware and software. In this study, the effect of augmented and mixed reality applications in the training of open-pit mining machines is examined. In the application called AR Book, a booklet containing machine visuals and technical information was created. In the project developed in the Unity real-time development engine, the database created in the Vuforia AR engine and 3D machine models matched with them were used. An image-target-based augmented reality application was implemented in this booklet using Android devices. In another application, a ground-plane-based application was developed for the mixed reality device MS Hololens 2. With the Hand Interactions feature, machines positioned in the natural environment can be controlled with drag, rotate and scale operations, enlarged to gigantic sizes and examined. The evaluations of the training group regarding the use of AR and MR applications together with traditional education were sought. They were also asked to make comparisons between the mobile device and Hololens 2. There have been highly positive results in integrating imaging technologies into education.
