Work-in-Progress−Immersive Reality Simulator, a Proposal to Support Siderurgy Processes

Abstract

This work-in-progress highlights the significance of interactive elements in virtual reality applications for foundry processes, with a specific focus on the casting stage. The research employs both 2D and 3D techniques to create immersive scenarios, resulting in two virtual reality scenes where users can engage with objects and gain a comprehensive understanding of the casting process through accompanying videos. The study's findings stress the considerable influence of virtual reality interaction, as it permits users to acquire knowledge of the process without having to be present in a factory, effectively lowering the risk of accidents and minimizing potential material wear costs. In summary, this research establishes the crucial role of interactive virtual reality tools in enhancing the learning experience and safety measures associated with foundry processes, further emphasizing the need for continued advancements in the field of virtual reality technologies.
