VR simulator for wastewater treatment plants
Festo Didactic and EON Reality Inc. have teamed up to create a virtual reality simulation that recreates typical scenarios in a wastewater treatment plant.
By using virtual reality, you can simulate situations that can normally only be set up with great effort and expense, or would even be life-threatening or hazardous to the environment or system components.
Malfunctions and situations such as power failures, accidents and incidents can be neither simulated nor taught during day-to-day operations. In such events, it's important that qualified employees react quickly, safely and correctly to prevent major damage (materials/costs). The VR environment is ideal for situations that are difficult or even impossible to simulate in real life, allowing students to learn/take action without any consequences.
Further learning solutions for environmental technology and renewable energy sources.
Augmented reality (AR)
Augmented reality allows the user to see the real world as well as additional virtual information. To experience and view the virtual layer, users need a smartphone, tablet, head-up display, holographic system or augmented reality glasses. AR technology is perfect for providing students with additional information and thus enhancing the learning process in the real world.
Virtual reality
Learning by doing increases learning comprehension and retention of knowledge. However, the day-to-day work in industrial factories and the associated productivity targets mean that real processes there cannot be disrupted. Training in a VR environment is highly realistic and offers incredible options for technical vocational and advanced training, such as virtual maintenance work or realistic simulations of situations that would otherwise be life-threatening.
