Virtual Environment for Training Oil _ Gas Industry Workers

摘要

Oil and Gas industries have grown year by year in the automation field, trying to improve their processes and productivity, and at the same time trying to ensure the safety of their workers, machinery and company. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to periodically train instrumentation technicians and field operators; however, it must be taken into account that most of industrial equipment is really expensive. Due to this it has been necessary to use tools such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), which optimize and reduce both the time and the cost of training. 'This research proposes the development of a virtual training system for the commissioning, calibration and mounting HART transmitters in dynamic and dangerous environments for the human being such us Oil & Gas process facilities.
