Immersive Interactive Virtual Reality Systems by infoTRON
infoTRON’s Immersive Interactive Virtual Reality Systems (TRONwall, TRONcave, TRONvrc, and TRONdome) are a seamless integration of hardware and software technologies used for immersive, collaborative visualization, also known as virtual reality (VR). These facilities and solutions enable the creation and use of interactive, multisensory, three-dimensional worlds, or environments and models. They constitute a collaborative computing environment designed to support multiple business processes, from engineering and design review to data analysis, training and presentations. These real-time simulation systems feature fully integrated, powerful stereographic visualization display systems, high-end tracking and interaction devices, as well as high-end software solutions for various applications like virtual design and engineering, virtual prototyping and visual simulation.
As one of the most advanced VR product portfolio for industries like aerospace, defence, automotive, energy and construction, infoTRON’s solutions immerse you and your colleagues in your data, so you can move around it, hear it, and perceive it much as you perceive the physical world or in a way that is impossible in the real world. This approach helps you arrive at better decisions in less time, providing enormous cost savings while enhancing productivity in any situation where spatial relationships must be analyzed. You’ll gain insight and reach your goals with greater speed, efficiency, and flexibility than ever before.
Virtual Prototyping Systems
Virtual Prototyping (VP) is the most promising technology for engineering design and manufacturing. It speeds up design, development and planning processes in an interactive and collaborative environment, providing an unprecedented degree of 3D immersion and product understanding. It involves using computer-aided design and engineering software to validate a design before committing to making a physical prototype. This is done by creating 3D computer generated geometrical shapes (parts) and either combining them into an assembly and testing different mechanical motions, fit and function or just aesthetic appeal. infoTRON provides exceedingly powerful turn-key solutions combining high-end visualization and real-time simulation of product behavior in its actual size, and allows product operation very close to reality by simulating the behavior of the product in the real world.
Using the power of collaborative visualization, infoTRON’s VP solutions facilitate collaborative decision making and multidisciplinary communications that enable companies to identify and resolve manufacturing problems while in a virtual state. By making decisions based on digital models, companies can save developmental time and money while significantly reducing time to market. infoTRON’s VP environments support the entire product development process, from conceptual modeling to engineering and design review, visualization of complex analysis data, factory floor simulation, training, and customer reviews.
Virtual Maintenance Training Systems
Highly dynamic, complex systems such as military and civilian aircraft, weapons systems, electronic equipment and industrial machinery often require an advanced level of training that can be difficult to accomplish effectively with traditional Computer Based Training (CBT) systems. Static graphics, textual descriptions and video clips are merely the electronic equivalent of a paper textbook. No matter how well-organized and presented, this type of content is ultimately less effective and has lower retention than hands-on interactive training. Ideally, the student in any learning environment should be provided the most realistic, tactile experience available. Virtual reality and simulation provides the next best training experience to actual hands-on equipment use.
infoTRON’s next generation Virtual Maintenance Trainers (VMT), implement virtual reality and simulation technologies to provide highly engaging and effective maintenance training for complex systems, machinery and equipment without having to access operational platforms and original systems. Key to this concept is the rapid creation of 3D virtual equipment and models necessary to build high fidelity maintenance training simulations. It is an extremely deployable and interactive solution for installation, maintenance and repair training of equipment, systems and platforms, which ensures first-time-right performance, resulting in superior operational readiness at lower cost.
The systems offer a solution that provides students with unlimited virtual hands-on practice time. Used either on its own as a part of distributed learning, or blended with instructor-led live equipment training, it enables trainees to meet their learning objectives more effectively and cost-efficiently.
infoTRON’s VMT solutions are an extremely interactive solution, as they uniquely allow real-time assembly and disassembly of the 3D equipment, improving the learning experience and the results. They serve to support the four phases, typically covered in task-based technical training:
Familiarize – Interact and familiarize with virtual 3D equipment, system or platform and quickly identify all parts and components
Acquire – Watch procedural animations created by Subject Matter Experts that demonstrate the correct ways to maintain the equipment, system or platform
Practice – Virtual hands-on practice allows students to learn at their own pace and receive immediate feedback on their performance
Validate – Interactions can be tracked by SCORM (Shareable Content Object Reference Module) conformant Learning Management Systems
By using infoTRON’s VMT solutions for installation, maintenance, and repair trainings, any organization that is responsible for the training or maintenance of complicated equipment, systems or platforms will be able to:
Train to standard in 60% of the time
Improve maintenance turn time by at least 30%
