Tiivistelmä
Virtual reality technology has been widely considered as a massive development of 3D computer graphics. Along with modern computer development, it has become surprisingly popular and effective. Despite the common thought that virtual reality is limited to the computer game industry, there are many areas it can be applied to such as arts, tourism, education or psychology. The combination of this technique and modern software systems can guarantee effective industrial application such as designing, manufacturing and maintenance.
The objective of this thesis was to develop an application on a PC platform to simulate a power plant with virtual operations and maintenance. The application was implemented to describe specific maintenance and disaster scenario simulation of actual issues in an industrial facility. Within the scope of the thesis, Unreal Engine was used as the main tool to design and build the application, along with the help of HTC Vive in order to put virtual reality technique into use.
The application was successfully implemented with all required functions and it has been continuously tested. The application’s use cases, design and implementations will be mentioned in this document.
