If you wear glasses, you see better. If you wear AR or VR glasses, you see more. Augmented and virtual reality enhance the environment by adding computer-assisted content, thus merging the real and virtual worlds. Augmented and virtual reality technologies offer a new way of looking at the learning and working worlds of today and tomorrow.
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.
Virtual learning transforms learning processes into realistic learning experiences. This enhances students' understanding of technical systems. They immerse themselves in a virtual world where they can work independently on learning projects and content, learn together with others and actively and systematically acquire knowledge.
Virtual learning and mixed reality – make the learning experience:
With the comprehensive CIROS® simulation environment, you can create a virtual replica of the CP learning factory and its modules. By using virtual reality, students can move around the factory in 3D, familiarising themselves with the environment and completing tasks in the virtual world. Thanks to the integrated system approach, the virtual reality solution has a complete MES® connection and thus also an ERP interface (SAP4school). For location-independent learning!
CIROS® VR is available as a free, pre-installed plug-in for all CIROS® 6 licences, both for CIROS® Education and CIROS® Studio. Use CIROS® to supplement existing learning systems or as a stand-alone training program for completely virtual training sessions.
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.
