Abstract

Immersive experiences through Mixed Reality (MR) are revolutionizing the way people connect and interact with each other and things around them. MR is the umbrella term that binds all spatial computing technologies which blends real and virtual environments. It holds the potential to provide things beyond imagination while simultaneously making deeper and more meaningful engagement possible. A new engineer to be equipped with the know-how of an OP (Operational Procedure) of machinery, this virtual laboratory helps to know the intricate details of the machinery and tools. The virtual laboratory combines the use of MR technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), with advanced 3D modeling tools. This virtual laboratory has the potential to revolutionize the sustainable design process by providing an immersive and flexible platform for experimentation, analysis, and collaboration. This project focuses on helping the user to visualize the machine (i.e., Single Drum Piston) and its functionalities through an immersive experience and understand the visual empathy of it. Through 3D Modelling technology, Plane detection and algorithms written with C# script we built this solution with the incorporation of Autodesk Maya and Unity Game Engine. The built solution can be experienced immersive by viewing it through a mobile placed in a headset (Aryzon Headset). This MR experience provides realistic virtual presentations which eases learning of complex modules while analytics ensure understanding of outcomes. It can empower designers and researchers to explore innovative design solutions, optimize resource utilization, and ultimately contribute to the development of more sustainable built environments. This can be incorporated in various other fields like automobile manufacturing, machine industries, construction tool manufacturing, real estate buildings & landscapes, home appliances and furniture, interior design, medical institution, and educational institutions.

混合现实虚拟实验室与三维建模促进可持续设计

通过混合现实技术（MR）实现的沉浸式体验正在彻底改变人们与他人和周围事物之间的联系和互动方式。混合现实技术是所有空间计算技术的总称，它融合了真实和虚拟环境。它具有提供超乎想象的东西的潜力，同时使更深入、更有意义的参与成为可能。虚拟实验室帮助新工程师掌握机械操作规程（OP）的诀窍，了解机械和工具的复杂细节。虚拟实验室将增强现实（AR）和虚拟现实（VR）等 MR 技术与先进的 3D 建模工具相结合。该虚拟实验室为实验、分析和协作提供了一个身临其境的灵活平台，有望彻底改变可持续设计流程。本项目的重点是帮助用户通过身临其境的体验将机器（即单鼓活塞）及其功能可视化，并理解其视觉共鸣。通过三维建模技术、平面检测和使用 C# 脚本编写的算法，我们结合 Autodesk Maya 和 Unity 游戏引擎构建了这一解决方案。通过将手机置于头戴式耳机（Aryzon Headset）中观看，可以身临其境地体验所构建的解决方案。这种 MR 体验可提供逼真的虚拟演示，从而简化复杂模块的学习，同时通过分析确保对结果的理解。它可以增强设计师和研究人员探索创新设计方案、优化资源利用的能力，并最终促进更具可持续性的建筑环境的发展。它还可应用于汽车制造、机械行业、建筑工具制造、房地产建筑与景观、家电与家具、室内设计、医疗机构和教育机构等多个领域。
