Immersive Training David Lafferty President of Scientific Technical Services And ARC Associate
Current Situation Great Shift Change Drive The Need For Training Conventional Training Methods Are Expensive And/Or Ineffective Consequences Of Getting It Wrong Is High Consumer World Driving Augmented And Virtual Reality Prices Down And Acceptance Up VISION, EXPERIENCE, ANSWERS FOR INDUSTRY ARC Advisory Group 2
What is Immersive Training? Immersive Learning Places Individuals In An Interactive Learning Environment, Either Physically Or Virtually, To Replicate Possible Scenarios Or To Teach Particular Skills Or Techniques. Simulations, Role Play, And Virtual Learning Environments Can Be Considered Immersive Learning VISION, EXPERIENCE, ANSWERS FOR INDUSTRY ARC Advisory Group 3
Uses of Immersive Training Basic Procedure Training Low Frequency, High Consequence Activities Commissioning Business Process Rehearsal TARs, Maintenance, Pipeline construction Safety Training for High Risk Environments VISION, EXPERIENCE, ANSWERS FOR INDUSTRY ARC Advisory Group 4

ILE Virtual Reality Realistic And Immersive Simulation Of A Three-dimensional Environment Created Using Interactive Software And Hardware Types of VR Non-immersive desktop systems with a portal Semi-immersive Multiple large screens Fully immersive head mounted displays VISION, EXPERIENCE, ANSWERS FOR INDUSTRY ARC Advisory Group 9
ILE - Augmented Reality View Of A Physical, Real-world Environment Whose Elements Are Augmented (Or Supplemented) By Computer-generated Sensory Input Such As Sound, Video, Graphics Or GPS Data Unlike Virtual Reality, Which Creates A Totally Artificial Environment, Augmented Reality Uses The Existing Environment And Overlays New Information On Top Of It VISION, EXPERIENCE, ANSWERS FOR INDUSTRY ARC Advisory Group 10
ILE Hybrid Combining several methods into a training environment Video conferencing (live instruction) with VR VISION, EXPERIENCE, ANSWERS FOR INDUSTRY ARC Advisory Group 11
Type of 3D Models Inexact Unreal Inexact Representation Of the Unreal Real Inexact Representation Of the Real Exact Exact Representation Of the Unreal Exact Representation Of the Real Inexact vs Exact Metrology sense Unreal vs Real does it physically exist VISION, EXPERIENCE, ANSWERS FOR INDUSTRY ARC Advisory Group 12
Exact Inexact 3D Models Unreal Real Fantasy Environments Concept Drawings Uses 360 Cameras or Photogrammetry Gaming Engines Compromises accuracy for rendering 3D CAD Visualize Engineering Designs Making Of Generalized Environments Laser Scanning Digital Twin of the real world - As is vs As Designed Compromises realist rendering for accuracy VISION, EXPERIENCE, ANSWERS FOR INDUSTRY ARC Advisory Group 13
Barriers To Market Training Viewed As A Cost Not An Investment Training Department Embedded With Conventional Training Methods Lack Of Funding For Transition To Immersive Training Expense Of Model Creation Keeping 3D Models Current Intrinsically Safe Field Devices Inappropriate Model Use Brownfield Have Little 3D Data VISION, EXPERIENCE, ANSWERS FOR INDUSTRY ARC Advisory Group 14
Trends Consumer Market Will Continue To Drive Acceptance And Lower Prices Military Will Continue To Drive Technology In This Market Wearables Glasses, Gloves, Etc. Use Of Machine Vision, Object Recognition And Gesture Recognition Technologies To Improve Ar Scanning Technology Will Lower Costs And Shorten Model Building Times Handhelds Processing Software Five to 10 years from now, a far greater proportion of military training will be provided by immersive solutions training systems that use advanced software and hardware combinations to fully engage individuals in virtual and constructive simulations.
