ABSTRACT

Virtual reality (VR) and immersive technologies have become the frontier of research and development. Amongst the popular applications of these new technologies, training and education have become beneficial to many areas. Through the use of sophisticated design and methods, despite complex hands-on operations and laboratory environment, latest technologies can be applied to chemical engineering. In this paper, we describe our framework which develops a virtual chemical plant using VR, digital twin and robotic controls, as well as extend such framework to multiple platforms such as web browsers and mobile devices to boost its accessibility.
